Archduke’s old pond
turtle’s pink and blue paths
water lilies
reflecting night skies
fields atwinkle with fireflies
young lovers embrace

This post is written for two prompts at Carpe Diem Haiku Kai (I’m still trying to catch up!!!) Water Lilies:

Claude Monet
and Starry Night:

Vincent Van Gogh
The prompts written to accompany these two wonderful paintings can be found HERE (Water Lilies) and HERE (Starry Night) apart from the explanation of what one must do, and some lovely haiku examples, there is also a very interesting piece about the life of Van Gogh ..well worth stopping to read it!
Your haiku were lovely, cara and I love the edits on the turtle photo…just lovely!! when I see your morning Waka, it reminds me I need to think of going to bed:)
