TJ has some great words and a beautiful photo for us again this week!
Here are my takes. The first using the photo and words. The second and third inspired by the words.
Look towards Heaven
Beautiful ancient carving
Woven to delight
The women of old
Weaving fabric to clothe all
Worked their fingers raw
Dreams of ancient souls
Voices weaving through my thoughts
Guiding me through life

TJ has a great photo and pair of words for our haiku prompt today!
And here is my first response for the photo with the words added. I have opted for the 3/5/3 traditional Japanese haiku form for this first one.
Blue skies filled
With melodious birds
Spring beginsRitu 2017
And one reflecting exactly how I feel right now, using the 5/7/5 traditional English form.
Singing the blues here
Feeling sorry for myself
Throat infections suck!Ritu 2017
