Elusive


Oh, to pocket time
It flies one season to next
Simply catch a star


This is my response to this week’s W3 challenge which is to create a haiga by pairing a haiku (traditionally about nature) or senryu (traditionally about human foibles) with a visual art form of my choice. The theme: the long-awaited shift from winter to spring.

I think this is a senryu? It is a human foible to think we can control time, right?

The artwork is a little self-indulgent. It’s a collage I made at Christmas. I also made a few ornaments along the same theme, but never did anything with them.

Front — Catch a falling star
Back — Put it in your pocket
