Photo Poems for Late Summer

Haiga, or Shahai

Hello, friendly readers, I trust you are doing well this weekend, and you are feeling a lightening of spirit. I have ten photo poems for you, in the Japanese style of a paired image and a Haiku, alternately called Haiga and Shahai. This link has a good explanation of Haiku with a Picture. I hope you’ll enjoy mine! Please see other collections in Memoir-ish Musings, and consider a free subscription. Thanks for being here! x Mel
