Shashin-no-uta (写真 の 歌), a photographic song – this is the final name that Jen from Blog it or Lose it! created for the photoku … which unfortunately she’s no longer hosting … I like this genre too much to give it up just because there’s no prompt for which to write.  Lately I’ve noticed that I’ve been writing far too many prompted works – yes, it’s nice to be able to have people read what we write and prompts are a way to get that readership … but  – so here’s an unprompted Shashin no uta.

WHAT’S A Shashin no uta?
.

“In a nutshell, to compose a Shashin no uta you 1) write a haiku, and 2) put together a series of images to illustrate your haiku.  There should be no written words in your images.  You may add your written haiku after the photoku if you desire. ”  Jen from Blog it or Lose it!

shadows loom in darkened masks
a sinking leaf

patterns form making dark omens
leaf shivering sinks

Shashin no uta – September 28, 2014

It’s been a busy week … and I just got back from a long walk up to Arco’s Castle this fine Indian Summer day … so I got down to work to create this weekly wordless haiga, which I came across at Ronovanwrites a few weeks ago!
