Law Breaker

Hiding in the overgrown thicket, catching my breath after the police chase, I could imagine how a criminal back in the days of complete and utter lawlessness got away with everything under the blistering sun in the sky. They could sink to new lows every day—besting them with yet another, more despicable deviant act.

A bomb went off, my body jerked, and I knew I would need to rinse my undergarments. My foster parents wouldn’t be proud. But I couldn’t continue to fake being part of this lifestyle. The lies were killing me.

Still, I did lead an interesting life.

Here is this week’s image to get your creative juices flowing!

From the photographer – “a white picture frame sitting on top of a lush green wall.”

Please create one senryu and one haiku to accompany this image prompt. Remember that a traditional haiku describes nature or a season, while a senryu focuses on human nature and emotions.

In My Sight

sunny orange orb
it beckons my attention
i wish i could fly

**NOTE – This is the second piece that didn’t make the cut for Pure Haiku’s Encircling Theme.

Safe Space

snuggling with enjoyable things
sleepy, cozy comfort
when the haze lifts
hoping for a jovial mood
bouncing lively into the day
maybe just five more minutes…

… i have a close personal relationship with my bed

Achieving Harmony

we band together
our world – a colorful blend
rainbows instill peace

Erred

Redux

You as my Lover 
acting like you care

You liked to Hover
we made a great pair

But you were a Shover
found out too late

So I ran away for Cover
to escape this fate

Primal

all is a mystery
awaiting discovery
the push for self-actualization

an essential drive
extending oneself to the highest
fundamental to our existence

without it
we cease to exist
at the very least – to thrive

Never Alone

unencumbered now
i cherish this time with you
safety, peace and calm

Here is this week’s image to get your creative juices flowing!

This image is an underwater photo, resplendent with many small, silver fish. They resemble minnows. The bottom is white sand, and the varying hues of blue from lighter to darker.

Please create one senryu and one haiku to accompany this image prompt. Remember that a traditional haiku describes nature or a season, while a senryu focuses on human nature and emotions.
