caught in fallow times
valley gloams – darkness deepens
poverty’s harvest
G.s.k. ’14
Created for Ronovan’s Wordless Haiku the prompt words were fallow and harvest. I also posted a variation of this collage on Bastet and Sekhmet’s Library as a Sunday challenge/puzzle. Have a great day!
Through the Eye of Bastet 
Haikus have always baffled me, the concept of wordless haikus is even more baffling. I love the new things I learn this month 🙂
The idea isn’t mine, but Ronovan’s … a great weekly challenge. I’m happy that you’re enjoying this great month of poetry!
I see quite a rich harvest of beauty in these photos and in the haiku itself.

Thanks so much … am happy you enjoyed the photos and haiku!
I am FASCINATED by the idea of a wordless haiku! Wow!
I was too … and it’s a lot of fun to put together! Thanks for dropping by!
I know this is going to seem really dumb, but how do you figure out the syllables?
I’m not sure what you mean but … if literally how to divide words into syllables – take the word literally – lit-er-al-ly 4 syllables, one usually divides the word by the sound breaks in the word … if I’m not sure of the sound breaks I go to a handy dictionary 😉
Oh yeah – no, I know that, but in IMAGES…that’s the bit I got stuck on understanding. Like, how do you have a three-syllable photo? Would it be e.g. a photo of a bicycle?
Glad to hear I was mistaken, sorry! 🙂 Well, I think of a haiku … and then add photographs that can help illustrate the concept … it’s sort of like doing a rebus … so if you wanted to write:
along the river bank
summer excursions
– bicycles
I might make my collage with a photo of a river, then a photo or two of summer activities and finish off with a photo of bicycles.
The game consists of other people looking at the photos and creating their own haiku from the photos as they feel inspired to do so … example
bubbling water flow
mountain climbing and swimming
– bikes left at home
Visit Ronovan Writes and you’ll get lots more examples … Here’s one of my earlier posts: https://bastet1952.wordpress.com/2014/10/05/wordless-haiku-october-5-2014/
Oh, this is different to me. But I like it!
I only discovered it recently … but have come to enjoy it very much.
This is actually pretty cool. A complete different way of expression.

Thanks … I agree, it’s a great way of adding two mediums of expression.
I love this! This is so creative! Are these photos yours? They are beautiful- this really does make you think.
Sincerely,
Aishah

Yea, the photographs are mine. Glad you enjoyed Aishah.
Oh okay – the title had me thinking – how can you get 17 syllables without any words? 🙂
Now you know 😉
Love the haiku! Neat challenge (must go and check out this Wordless Haiku, because I am curious), BTW. Have a great week! 🙂
I love the challenge … and hope you’ve gone by to look into it … thanks for the best wishes and hope you have a great week too!
Wow. Love what you did with the images. You really have to look but it’s all there. You train us to pay attention. 🙂
Thanks Ronovan … I decided to try the prompt this week … but I admit putting fallow and harvest together was not easy. Thanks for the great prompt and the wonderful idea of the Wordless Haiku! 😉
