This series of photographic art with verse is an experiment. I know of someone who makes a living selling greeting cards that she designs. I just thought that I would try my hand, since I love making photographic art and writing poetry. I am new at these short verse styles, but I love them. I hope to get better before I even think of marketing some version of these cards. These are some of my new haiku, senryu and tanka.(Maybe I should say haiku-like, senryu-like and tanka-like.) Critiques welcome. Keep in mind that the verse was written for the image.

Great start for your blog, Charline! I am bowled over by the first one. Both image and words.
Thanks Roswila. The first two images are my favorites of a series that has about 10-12 images in it. I haven't decided exactly how many I will use. This cardinal kept banging into my window in Moscow, Texas. He was fighting his own image, I believe, but every once in a while I think that he saw through to the other side of the glass. I bet that was a strange feeling. Would be for me. As a matter of fact, I think that I have done that a time or two. Metaphorically speaking, of course.
Hi Vera! I discovered your blog via Roswila's. I love your concept of combining your photographic art with distilled verses. The images are like fragments of a visionary's dreams. Your words reminded me somewhat of the approach I took for my book MAGIC ARCHETYPES, which you can read for free online: at www.mysteryarts.com/magic/archetypes.php. In my case, I worked with couplets, the first line describing a physical act and the second line addressing the esoteric meaning. Best of luck with your projects!

Hi Craig, I do love Roswila's sites. Thanks for the nice comments and the comparison of my work to yours. I like what you have done--what I have seen so far. I have visited one of your sites from hers also--the one with the tarot cards, of course. Outstanding. I will visit the others soon.
