It’s Day 4 of the Challenge and today’s entry is a haiku. I enjoy writing haiku, seeing how much I can say in the 17 syllables I allow myself, a traditional count, but one to which the writer need not always adhere. I like the discipline though, so I tend to try to stay within those parameters.
Today I’m nominating Naomi at Writing Between the Lines. The challenge, should you decide to accept it, is to “post a photo each day for five consecutive days and attach a story to the photo. It can be fiction or non-fiction, a poem or a short paragraph and each day nominate another blogger for the challenge”. Whether she accepts or not, I hope you take a peek at her blog. Her most recent trip, at least on the blog, was to Turkey.
Nice one, Janet!
Thanks very much, Sue.

Lovely haiku. I like the thought of heady to the senses. Great photo.
When we lived in our house in Cleveland, I planted some poppies and they were so beautiful. Imagining an entire field is mind-boggling. I took a LOT of photos of them, too. 🙂

I always dreamed of fields of some flower. I didn’t really care what. Sometimes poppies, other times lavender. I dream on. I’m glad you took oodles of photos of your poppies.
When we go to Wyoming in the summer, there are often fields of wildflowers and it’s absolutely gorgeous. Fields of lavender are rather spectacular and also pungent. 🙂

I’ve only seen photos. Pungent doesn’t sound too desirable.
Right after I posted my comment, I thought that “pungent” was the wrong word. 🙂
LOL Fragrant perhaps?
Yes, but it can be overwhelmingly fragrant. 🙂
I’ll stick with photos. I get hayvever. 🙂
The scent is lovely, but if there are lots of fields around, it can be a bit overwhelming.
Very nice Janet.
Thanks, Raewyn. Hope you’re enjoying your weekend.
