Watching my hair dance . . . (haiga)

Posted on April 4, 2017 by Mary Kendall

Using a photo I took and two different art programs on my iPad, a new picture appeared that was perfect for this senryu.

This haiga was published in:
Failed Haiku, A Journal of English Senryu, Issue 16, April 2017

What a great haiga, Mary. Taking something so simple as static hair and turning it into a poem.
