Artist's Comments

Here is the typed text:

Breaking from the branch,
Unwilling to be the next
Nail flattened. Free fall.


I have actually studied Japanese culture in high school and culture. As I was brainstorming for visual haiku ideas I came across this leaf image. The Japanese expression that goes something to the effect of - the nail that sticks out must be hammered down - floated to my brain's surface. I thought this little leaf was a great image to rival it.

This is the other visual haiku poem I created for ~moyanII's Visual Haiku contest. The other one I created is here. The style of mine was inspired by one of the examples, which was done by *HaikuKitty and can be seen here. I really enjoyed doing this and think I may do more even after the contest is over.

The leaf image is a part of *PrintsForLit's wonderful stock gallery for the literature community and can be found here. It was originally created by ¢mynti.

Yay! :) Seeing the formatting of your examples gave me ideas I had to run with, it was required the haiku be handwritten, I've been getting more into visual poetry..etc...so roll that all together and this is what I ended up producing. So glad you approve! :D I loved your samples!

we were across the room from each other. it was sunday, it was crowded. the shops were roiling with people in screaming lookatme colours. a swelling drone-murmur was our blanket.our eyes met. we stared.

then we looked away.
