I seem to have missed the announcement of this haiga…. so glad I found it. For a moment of engagement of all the senses…. shadow music dreams indeed.
This is sublime, Jim. The juxtaposition of drowse and radium, and I see it too in the shadow and light, are the essence of the perfect haiku. Thank you.
This is wonderful…and martin, I like your poem as well…
I like this very much. Even the faint speckled light through the tree’s shadow appearing and disappearing on the fungal trunk of another tree and a bright-faced rock behind it belonged to the dream…
in the old wall the tree’s shadow
What a lovely video–image, haiku and music!
It takes you with it and drops you at the foot of the tree, in dream . . .
