This week’s edition of Haiku Sunday – Italy iPhone Photography by Juliet Housewright celebrates the eye of my talented wife on our most recent Italy journey. Juliet’s work will have its own gallery on The Blissful Adventurer soon and these images will certainly be part of it. Enjoy today’s Haiku and stay tuned for a big announcement tomorrow!
Feet seem happiest
when dappled lights and warmth find
a place to alight
Pino knew his boat
was capable of winning
still he hated others
life is so simple
at the moment wine is poured
laughing lust looking
vintage boats in tune
with vintage ideas that
are often fleeting
at the market shrimp
clamor over one another
to try to stay warm
fireworks shows were new
to the little boy from Menfi
watching from the sea
excuse me ma’am
I believe this man wants to
grope me, tell him no
never more inviting
than the sea when it is not
to be had that day
A photographer
looks into the lens of life
and records his truth
Brilliant! Love the wine glass and the boats and the goat of course
I will pass along your praise to the talented photographer
The compliments were intended for your Haikus as well
well then I will take them as well
thanks for all the love today!
Beautiful words and pictures as usual, the first one really appeals to me as we head towards spring with days filled with sunshine and the need to get a pedicure
thank you! Juliet is really good
Such a talented, creative couple
Juliet inspires me everyday!
Love this – especially the last one!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it
Well done. Particularity enjoyed the last three. Vintage boats was very effective.
thank you very much! I am so glad you enjoyed this
Loving the first picture with the feet and the last one with the photographer. The last three lines of this post were great. Good pairing with the photo
The last one is superb!
I have to be by the toes pool. Where is that?
The place is here Ben http://www.villapulia.com/gelso-bianco/
Thanks. The interior looks as impressive as the exterior.
it is a fabulous place and I know the owner
Picture Haiku combos. Beautiful.
The haiku for the sheep had me LAUGHING. That is awesome!
she was a very talkative sheep
the person milking her probably had cold hands… I learned quickly with the goats – when your hands are cold – don’t try milking.
the milkers were the best and baddest I have ever seen. they would milk each sheep in less than 7 seconds…as fast as they were running I bet their hands were warm. The sheep loved them and went to them backing up for the milking, it was like the sheep whisperer
Loved the reflections in the glass – Enjoyed that first haiku and the one about the sea – great lighthearted insights
Juliet really captures reflections well
Beautiful photos!
thank you very much
I love that photo of the buildings reflected in the wine glass. Beautiful!
thank you! Juliet is great at that
clever Juliet
a keen eye for things composed
with a lovely sheep
she is cleaver indeed. How is your week going Mike
I’m good Mike. Where you been? We are off for Estes tomorrow for a few days of camping.
laying low this week Mike. Sometimes I get a little creative vacuum and need to zone away. I am hoping to be back in action over the weekend
I was a bit worried about your absence, truth be told. But I am also a big fan of zoning out.
yeah, I am starting to outline the book and also I am working logistics of our move west so I am trying to create a 3 day a week plan going forward. I should have come up and hung out with you
That you are always welcome to do. I actually have a house.
Wonderful! I love them. Feet seem happiest is a great way to start this edition. Brilliant photos as well, kudos to Juliet and her iphone.
Thank you Ryan!
I didn’t know what haiky until I read about it. I find your haiku suited to your photos, which are well done
BE ENCOURAGED! BE BLESSED!
Thank you! Haiku makes me happy
Love, love, love the first shot! And the purple flowers grow all over Sardinia. They are my favourite!
what are the flowers called Jennifer?
I have no idea! HA! Every time I ask someone they tell me in dialect, which I can’t spell nor pronounce!
I love it! That makes me like them more
Reading your haiku
inspires me to write a few
At least, I could try.
Great photos. Great haiku.
this is great and thank you Janice!
Love the photos but still don’t get haiku!
Haiku is easy to get if you just let it was over the images and with mine there is almost always something satirical implied
Love that first shot, and the goat!
thank you for this! very kind of you
I loved this series of photos and haiku… I think I need a newer iphone so my photos would have this sort of high definition! Lovely poetry.. and I’m glad to hear Juliet will have her own little spot on your blog:D
Juliet uses the iPhone 4s and I use the 4. They both take nice shots
