Starry Night

Magpie Tales 234, Starry Night.

Starry Night by Alex Ruiz

An awesome painting to become inspired and this is what it brought to me ...

one starry night
to make that one painting -
the rustling leaves

To Late for the Ferry

Yell Sound, Shetland, 2014, by R.A.D. Stainforth

A wonderful photo of the Ferry which brings people to the Shetland Islands. The lake ripples in the wind and above the lake clouds are showing their white-grey colour ... it looks like it will going to storm there.
It's in balance and only a thin line of mountains between the sky and the lake. This photo is 'picked' at Magpie Tales (Mag. 233) and the goal is to write a phrase towards the photo or a poem. Well ... I am a haiku -poet so I love to share a haiku inspired on this photo.

I seek shelter in the harbour -

Well ... not as strong as I had hoped, but it was a joy to write/compose them. See you another time ...

I visited The Magpie Tales weblog today and ran into this wonderful Photograph. It's a mysterious one ... is this human male or female, maybe both or is it a mystical being such as e.g. a mermaid or merman. I can't figure it out. As I look to the hands of this being I surely would say it's a male, but I have read some post of other contributors to The Mag in which it's a female. So what to do?

a neuter image
can't figure it out
it's all humanity

it's all humanity
searching for the truth
finding it

finding it
wasn't easy to do
this is mysterious

this is mysterious
it's a male Venus with his shell
a neuter image

Well ... what do you think of this one?

For The Mag another paint the picture challenge. I have written a haiku along to this wonderful photograph by Duane Michals. A little bit different from my other haiku I think, but I love doing this painting with words. So enjoy the read.

together as one
mirror mirror on the wall
separated again

 Well ... 'till next week's The Mag.

The Mag 107

Published for: Magpie Tales

Well ... a new Sunday to write a haiku to accompany a picture as published today on Magpie Tales. Last week I couldn't write a haiku for the picture, but this week's picture is lovely ... so let's do it.

What do I see? I see a guy standing for a picture of a woman's face ... her eyes staring at him. What does this picture ... bring to me ... how to write a haiku that can accompany this picture.

mysterious eyes
working like a magnet
I am possessed 


I am possessed
through the eyes of my girl
nailed to the ground


nailed to the ground
I wonder what she's doing with her
mysterious eyes

This is called a cascading haiku. It's a haiku form I am exploring.

See you next time.

The Mag 105

Another The Mag photograph for painting with words. I love writing haiku inspired on a picture, photo or painting. So here it goes.

The Mag 105

a phone booth
in the middle of nowhere
calling my love


lost in life
in need of talking to someone
at last a phone booth


at sunset
finally calling home
after my journey


Until next time :-)

The Mag 104

Another paint the image ... for Magpie Tales:

like a goddess
she is surrounded by 
her admirers


OK ... I am excited about this one. I hope you, dear visitor, like it too.

The Mag 103

I ran into another weblog with a challenge. I have to write a haiku (or short poem) inspired by a picture. This weeks picture:

This will not be easy.

decomposed flowers
silent witness of a relative
red tear-stained eyes


I don't know if this is the one fitting to this picture, but I loved writing this one.

This one is published on:

The Mag

Sincerely,
