I just wondered whether I’ve now written more haiku than sonnets….

A Forever home

Yes, it is possible to sell art during the pandemic.  A major collector saw one of my ‘Newer Work’ posts and decided to treat herself.  I’m not only blessed with the sale, but also the pic of the painting in its new Forever Home.  Although she says she might move things around.

The painting is called “Sky Comes Down”.

It contains the following haiku:
Sky comes down to us,
At every angle the rain
that might wash us clean.

Desert virga falls,
precipitation transforms
