Gifts of Autumn
Nov 13 BlueSky haiku illustration!

#micropoetry #FoundPoetry #poetry #poem #Fall #Autumn #seasonal #feels #Bluesky #haiku #fiery #warm #warmth #art #illustration #collage #photomanipulation #digital #DigitalArt #DigitalIllustration #DigitalCollage #AdobePhotoshopElements
Description: A fiery sky in shades ranging from bright red to burgundy. The sun sits in the top right, peaking over backlit trees. In a matching, pale yellow hue, the haiku sits top and center in “Segoe Script Bold” font. All of this overlooks a landscape fiery coloured forest with a cleared, more cultivated looking space in the foreground. Flames occupy the foreground, reaching up from the lower edge of the image, loosely framing the scene.

Description: A dark, fiery scene, what seems to be a damaged car barely visible in the background shadows. The haiku sits top and center in white “Segoe Script Bold” font, arching over the head of the lone figure in the image. They sit elegantly cross-legged, holding a cup of what might be coffee in both hands, perhaps having just had a sip. They look casually to the left of the image, seemingly indifferent to the flames which seem to have engulfed their clothes, leaving only the suggestion of a tank top straps, and whatever they were sitting on.

#micropoetry #FoundPoetry #poetry #poem #morbid #macabre #eerie #death #Bluesky #haiku #illustration #art #digital #collage #DigitalArt #DigitalIllustration #DigitalCollage #Photomanipulation #AdobePhotoshopElements #palace #ruins #snail #sun
Description: A cloudy sky in shades of green, blue, pink, and red. The sun appears in the top left corner, seemingly close enough to be in front of the clouds and visible in all its orange and yellow, fiery, solar flares glory. Despite this the entire scene feels shadowy, glowing with a sinister internal light more than sunlit. The sun is partially obscured by the ruins of a Greek Byzantine temple, which stretches across the left side of the image to the center left. A gigantic, transparent skull occupies the top right, seemingly observing a giant, brown snail in the bottom right, seemingly crawling away from the stairs of the ruin. The haiku sits top and center in white “Rosewood Std Regular” font.

Description: A nebulous, electric background in multiple colours. The foreground is occupied by a vortex of shapes, pieces of mysterious environments, Earthly and otherwise. A blank white silhouette figure is being consumed by the vortex, having fallen from above, judging by their posture and foreshortening. The haiku sits top and center in white “Prestige Elite Std Regular” font., arching with the vortex, the left hand of the figure seeming to reach toward it.

Description: A person’s left shoulder and collar bone area, taking up about two thirds of the image in front of a backdrop of graffiti on a wall. Tattoos of beautiful, long-feathered birds in flight decorate the visible skin - though, on closer examination, they are just cutouts letting the shapes and colours of the background show through. The body appears in shades of grey, seemingly rendered in graphite, while the background appears in strangely luminous, almost pastel colours, resembling mother-of-pearl.

Description: A dark background with what looks like blood coloured rust on the top and bottom edges reaching unevenly into the image. The haiku sits near the bottom edge and centered in a wavey, white Caflisch Script Pro Bold font outlined in black. There are three figures standing between the background and the haiku. On the left, a figure all in stark black and white, long, curly, black hair in a ponytail, wearing a horizontal striped tank top, platform shoes, and black capris leggings blending in with the background. They seem to be painting, easel with canvas in front of them, brush in one hand, palette in the other. The central figure seems to be more in the foreground, larger and only visible from the waist up. They also have long black hair, and with the line of a goatie visible on the side of their face. They’re wearing a long, black coat, and have their arms stretched out to either side, head turned to the right-hand side of the image. The arm gesture makes it look as if they are stretching the upside down unicorn skeleton which seems to be superimposed in front of them, warping it so that the ribs spread across the figure’s shoulders. Finally, on the right stands a third figure with long black hair, this one in a floor-length gown and corset laced up the back. Their skin has a ghostly, bluish sheen, as does their dress. They face a wall of fiery colour, the only warm hues aside from the bloody residue on the top and bottom of the picture.
