Even without the photo, the haiku is strong. "Splintered" works well - one gets the sense that all is not well.<br /><br />What's interest me though is that if I hadn't seen the photo, I would think the following: Perhaps it's morning. The light is splintered by clouds, a tree outside the window, by the window's muntins, or by blinds...<br /><br />The splintered light fills her eyes.<br /><br />It's not pleasant. She draws the curtains.<br /><br />But when I see the photo, I think: The curtains are already drawn, splintered light comes through them, she covers her eyes.<br /><br />A thoughtful haiku.Patrickhttp://poemshape.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7414865852217989753.post-87293641191378931182009-06-11T18:25:28.259+10:002009-06-11T18:25:28.259+10:00A very nice haiga.
