Week 3 of #NaHaiWriMo, we embark on a holistic path into #haiku through the incredible #haiga #art of Cendrine Marrouat (@cendrinemedia.bsky.social):

In spring
how easily one forgets
winter

Join us next Tuesday for more Haiku Month #WolfPack Highlights.

#PoetryCommunity #poetry #VisualPoetry ✍️
Cendrine Marrouat’s black and white haiga painting depicts a curvaceously bare tree. Centered amidst tall wisps of grass, its trunk tapers toward the base and splits at the top. The delicate grey wash background denotes a dusky, serene mood. Paired beneath the artwork floats an inked haiku on the right: In spring how easily one forgets winter

Here is a landscape nature photo I took of a snowy field in the Shenandoah Valley. The field's white triangle of hill meets a wedge of snow-covered trees. A white sky above reflects the snow below. The smoothness of the top and bottom of this image is contrasted by the inky texture of trees severing the scene in half. As an artist and writer, I see paper everywhere. Negative space makes me want to recreate moments and fill in the blank. Being drawn in by this wintery expanse inspired my latest haiku: snowy field the vastness of a blank page

Thank you for joining our Haiku Month Wolf Pack Highlights every Tuesday.

This is a nature photo Tré took of a curved poplar branch in the snow. Beneath a white daytime gloom, the background's bokeh features falling flakes and an evergreen forest. A few snowflakes float, suspended around the limb. The scene provokes a chilled serenity that inspired Tré's latest free verse haiku: around poplar's snowy bend another short road

Here is a black and white breakwater photo I took in the Bahamas, off Great Abaco. These man-made structures are designed to mimic the appearance of shoals, but their job is to protect the coast from high-energy waves and storms. The pitted rocks stretch diagonally across the sea, from right to left, like a bridge over calm waves. The sky is strewn with a delicate mixture of clouds; my favorite being the wispy cirrus in the upper right that looks like a fishbone or a feathery arrow. Between the rugged rocks and soft sky, the ocean appears wrinkly, almost silken, leading to a distant line of shore. The tinest sailboat drifts on the right, facing left. Standing before this clutch of serenity, I couldn’t help but wonder: what stories does each rock hold? Every dip, crack, and dent becomes a word. From all angles, different pages emerge. Yet, all we can read is on the surface. What dwells deeper within or beneath the tides? An ocean of libraries. These thoughts inspired another haiku in my travel journal. clouds shape narrative shoal rock tales form a library
