A set of haikus:
I would give the world,
For the breathtaking beauty
Of mother nature-
The sight of trees tall,
Painting a flamboyant green
The forest boundless,
The sight of skies grey,
Foretelling storms fiery,
As rainclouds advance,
Earth greeting ether*
Beyond the sea of vastness
Visible to none-
To greet my tired eyes,
Seeking to see such grandeur
‘Ere they see no more.
-The Forgers of Fantasy
*Refers to the skies here.
This has been penned for the #TankaTuesday challenge, where poets were asked to pen ekphrastic poems based on the picture given by David(given above). I tried my hand at penning a ficitonal piece here, describing the sight around the man with the lens(but not portraying him here, sorry for that!). You can access the prompt at https://wordcraftpoetry.com/2022/05/17/tankatuesday-poetry-challenge-no-274-5-17-22-ekphrastic-photoprompt/ .

Veera, you wrote your senryu perfectly, and it was beautiful. The last stanza says it all for me. I gazed at the photo and read your words. You captured what was beyond the lens. ❤
