i took this photo at the park last week on the first "cool" day of fall here in austin (low 70's). writers, what's your short story, poem or creative non-fiction response to the photo? i'd love to read it!

as for me, i'm thinking it's time for a haiku or two:

-

5. 7. 5. (x 2)

-

silky green surface

beckons a touch. ow!  curse your

peanut window pane

-

desert harvest loop 

stand down your summery thorns

sing a song of fall

today's photo prompt is a shot i took on a long drive a few weeks back. i was as tired that night as i was last night working on this post. lots of substitute teaching this week for me - which is both wonderful and draining. without much creative energy left over, i decided to try my hand at a short form (haiku) poem.

haiku (5-7-5)

-

night curve, pavement blight

bleary eyed ebb, gunning home
seek, track, moonlit path
