Door 11
Lubna's
Arch's got
Nothin on you.

Come
Outside the
In. Be wind.
~~~
Wind,
I invite
You. Dress warmly.
~~~
Weathered
Openings — feathered
Invitations. Take them.
~~~
All
You are
Is straight. Open!
~~~
Long
Grown welcome
Berates the rock.
~~~
After
Dinner, go
Outside. Breakfast! Lunch!
~~~
Birds
Know It —
Need no door.
~~~
How
Long sanded.
Stand still. Gamely.
~~~
Feathered
Paint, sun-split
Timber remembers. Keys!
~~~
Before
You open
Remember to close.

I still find this an interesting form. Do you plan to try to publish the sequence you've been doing, as a group?
I'm enjoying these. I am not sure what a Hay(na)ku is, but I love reading your versions. Feels like haiku from a sideways universe. Very nice.
seems to be a book of foto hay(na)ku called Poetic of Now, and, dang, it's almost done. There's about 100 of them, almost all from the stranded blog. cool, hippy hay(na)ku, what a trip!
I'm looking for a publisher now. Any interest out there? MANGO Publications, my press, will be printing up cards for the holidays -- at least, that's the plan right now. Visit Dave's photo-blog for a hippy hay(na)ku blog hunt. And, post your own. I posted about a dozen more last night.
Pris, these are your influence, your photo haiku. Form is simple, no syllables to count, harder to do in English. Just 6 words: 1/2-3/4-5-6. Trick is zen, and then getting all the words to "count."
