Some haiku purists would say that rhymes have no place in haiku. I vehemently disagree--and would hold up your offering today as an example of why rhyming haiku works!

This reminds me of a particular tree's silhouette after a enormous wildfire ravaged my parent's home in northern Arizona several years back. It still stood proud and was totally magnificent for years. Beautiful!

There were SEVEN comments just now.
So sorry to disturb the perfection of the number, but I just had to tell you how much i love that ladst picture.
Everything about it is perfect: the railing on the right, the gold in the distance, the heavy timber on the left meeting the dainty branches on the right: Spot on. All of it.

Now we are eight. hope that is good too.

That last photo is scrumptious -- I love sunset silhouettes. And 7 in my favorite number. Perfection?

These are incredibly beautiful photos of the seven branched tree at different times of the day. Is this tree where you live?

Hi Sue~ Amazing you found this tree with seven truncated branches! And the progession of your photos--first the bare, bold tree, then with the blue whorls of sky as background, and last a friendly tree reaches out to pat the seven tree with the gentle pink sunset behind--is striking! I have a table of archetypes for seven: colors, chakras, musical notes, continents, Catholic sacraments, seas, deadly sins, virtues, even the Seven Dwarves! And to find this tree--a message? I find your post not only very moving but also meaningful. Thanks, Sue! xxox

Trees are like old sturdy friends. They have witnessed so much of history and I sometimes wonder if the rings within their trunks don't contain stories as well. I love the branches reaching upward toward the light. Seven is a good number and may nothing but good fortune come to you my dear friend.
xoxo,
Noelle

What to Do?

Jamie Ridler asks in Wishcasting Wednesday - How would you like to spend some time? Good question for me at this time of year as I usually embark on some course or other for the winter months ahead, and as usual I'm not sure?  I go through  familiar questions, what do I really love and would like to spend time pursuing?  I've got qualifications in Fine Art and my heart is in photography, graphics, printmaking etc. But I'm torn because I'm also interested in Personal Development and have a yearning to share what I've learned so far with others in some way, especially on-line?  So what do I do? How do  I spend some time doing what I want to do, don't know, not sure but one thing I do know is that I need to spend more time puzzling it out? Or will it just come to me?  Do I spend more time meditating upon these ideas??? For other wishcaster wishes visit Jamie Ridler Studios

Rise

Learn from the Lupin, when rain clouds gather and burst take a bow, then rise. Hiya all, just got back from a small break by the sea, it filled my soul right to the brim!  These beautiful Lupins made a statement to me on my return so I thought I'd share it with all you haiku folks! Have a great weekend, should be back with news about the fox cub soon, seems he's too comfy in the womb!  Or waiting til the rain clouds are banished!
