smoke rises into the sky
from car exhaust pipes
between car yards
a Russian dome
make windows of sunlight
on concrete walls

Urban Haiku
This week's topic at one deep breath is to write haiku about the city. The topic was posted while I was at work today (I took a sneak peek on the work computer) so my brain was able to start churning while I drove home in busy rush hour traffic.
at the traffic lights
smoke rises into the sky
from car exhaust pipes
in the sliver of sky
between car yards
a Russian dome
cubist reflections
make windows of sunlight
on concrete walls

super! i especially like the "cubist reflections" and the lighting is captivating
ReplyDeletei love the photos, especially the last one-it's as if you've taken us on a little tour around town with these haikus-great!!
ReplyDeleteThese are all cool, but I LOVE the last one - in particular the combo of the haiku and the photo. That ROCKS!
ReplyDeletethese are great (though I'm coughing and sputtering with the first ;) and I agree there's something magical about the last one - the photo and the haiku (zen like perhaps?!)
ReplyDeleteThese are great! Love, "cubist reflections" excellent pairing of words. -Brilliantly done.
ReplyDeleteI too love the cubist reflections!
ReplyDeleteThe pictures are great! That last one was fabulous!
ReplyDeleteGreat haiku and photos!
ReplyDeleteGreat work Catherine - that brain and imagination was certainly helping the creativity along on the way home. Way to commute!
ReplyDeletecatharine, thankyou for your helpful comment....i will read up a little more, but that's actually a great help...
ReplyDeleteit frees things up a bit! :)
These were both wonderful. I so appreciate the Russian church dome, I'm Orthodox. And the cubist one was fantastic.
