Looks like an asian hut somehow, should be a part of an industrial complex (mine?). Great picture to a giant verse.

Best wishes

I was awed by his Imagist poem 'The Red Wheelbarrow'...at a time when i didn't new haiku form...and when I read some haikus, his poem often comes to mind, :)

That's so interesting, Devika!
I love the poems of William Carlos Williams and I think that there are a lot of connections between his poems and haiku.

Best wishes,
Angelika

Interesting. Absorbing window to an eternal nothingness surrounded by a blink of lush life.
