I was reminded of this video when I was visiting my sister this weekend.

Since I reminded myself of the Aldwyth exhibition the other day, I kind of got on an Aldwyth binge yesterday.
PBS has a show about her. But, I can’t see it because their Roku app is balky for me. However, Vimeo has some stuff. So, I have seen her face and heard her voice. This one was particularly entertaining because the pieces in that exhibition are ones we had seen at the Gregg when we first learned about her.
I can’t adjust the lighting on this without losing readablity. I hope it isn’t to dark for you to see.
This is the bottom edge of the Louanne LaRoche frame. The second from the top on the left.
I would like some feed back on this post. When I have a lot I want to share, does this format work or is it messy?

In trying to write a haiku, you have to depend on old ideas in order to be understandable. Using the images of plants that are unfamiliar to the reader make the poem useless, make the reference useless.
If the reader doesn’t know that crêpe myrtles are lush in the summertime but they do know that daffodils come up in the spring, then crepe myrtles aren’t the useful image that a daffodil is. Everyone knows that leaves turn color in the fall. They don’t necessarily know that the colors of the leaves, as they’re bursting in the Spring, give an idea of what those autumn colors will be. If someone doesn’t know that lilies bloom after irises, summer rather than spring, those references may not work.
Obviously, whether those things matter depends on the image that the writer is trying to convey.
I would be curious to see some of the books of words that are published for haiku writers.

They just finished their 2nd practical session of the welding course at York Tech in South Carolina. This was their final project for the session.
It has an attached stand and can balance on the leaf.
Welding is their happy place.
Edit: Not the leaf. The stand.

Ann sent me a picture she thought I would want to see. She was correct. It’s an interesting piece that addresses domestic violence.
A Thousand Cuts It inspired me to look up the photographer. Her name is Sujata Setia.
She does not blink.
