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?)
‘Scape
A knoll of pine trees
Tops too tall to see
A circle implied
Because there is a seat
At zero point
And snow falls:
Flakes congealed into comic blobs
That fall in quiet plops
On branches and,
When straighter, onto
The granite surface
The needly floor,
Covering a sleepy earthen
Solemn way to
Narnia or Middle Earth
No lamppost,
Elf, or orc, either, only a winter
Day on planetary sides
Where worlds meet
A place made up
And does exist
For I am here
