where Susi invites us to use
this image as inspiration.
Haiku
dark rocks, shadowed trees,
green leaves catch the misty light,
forest sits in peace
🦍 🦍 🦍 🦍
Senryu
ape’s wide eyes wonder;
why all the gloom and doom, chum?
let’s monkey around!

This is “Apeman” by The Kinks

And somehow they all fit together! Wonderful offering, Nancy!

I love these especially your senryũ and listening to the Kinks was so nostalgic I can’t believe it’s over 55 years old – and the lyrics are still true today ! 🩷
