Dropped Signal

Written for SenHai Saturday where our host
Susi asks us to write a senryu and haiku using
the image shown below as inspiration.

Haiku

Red spires wear white cloaks
sun climbs the frozen canyon
sky holds its breath, blue

Senryu

Tourist stops mid-hike
phone dies before the best shot….
nature keeps secrets

      1. I’m glad you understand. Some prompts just don’t evoke much of anything in me, but sometimes I just power through it. Most times I just don’t, but in this case, I was determined to get something down.

        On the other hand, you were obviously inspired. Nan
