Street Art, say hello to my little Haiku…

 Chortles for healing
Yes, another truth cliché’
Eyes wide open; cured

Pain’s scales fully cleared
Nothing’s like smiling with you
Cleansing fiends away

Proffered disclaimer
“Stimuli response creature”
His faults “in stasis”

Ah, ha ha, behold
How sweet to laughably view…
Saps teach ogres words

Sadly, pulled below
Into sulphurous kisses
Temporary bath

Fool’s paradises
Repelled for solid grounding
Upscaled to real life

Elevated me
New knowledge; true tenderness
Freedom completed

An exercise in summer re-discovery. A former summer’s draft of haikus met up with a friend’s last summer street art photography. Great fun matching up those thoughts to these illustrations of chance.

Outside of that, I’m guessing at this point in the year, many of us are in a need of some seasonal change. I’m definitely hungry for more sunny experiences in sunny destinations.  I’ll bet you are too. Let’s get at ‘er, mon anges et amies!
