poetry, prose, and photography
I adore the simplicity, as well as the challenge of Haiku. The constraints focus my mind, seeking out the essence of the moment, feeling, notion, distilling it to brilliant singularity.
My goal: to post at least one haiku a day.

This is my contribution for the Fandango One-Word Challenge. Today’s challenge word: trouble.
sunlight in the sky
within that deception
trouble is hidden
