the photograph

let’s go to Narnia
for
there’s
a lantern among trees
so
we may flee the White Queen
then safely to meet Aslan
thus
to stand
with the lion
against an evil force
and then wake up
I guess
but
my
what a thrilling day

(while drafting haiku, which I’m trying as my Saturday work to do, I encountered this photograph that became its own prompt with me of something else by way of association and form

in other words, I was working on one thing then inspired toward another

so maybe a Sunday haiku, knowing the haiku discipline is only for myself without any expectation from the world

that happens, doesn’t it?)
