Calling out the sun

in #haiku6 years ago

Hello everyone! The haiku contest from the folks at @bananafish has got me going! This little piece is not an entry for the contest, but I guess we can call it a practice run. Once again, I'll make it a haibun by adding some background to it. Hope you enjoy!

Days have been rainy around here lately, and I've been waiting for the sun to come out so I can to take a photo, since I only have my cellphone camera, which is not the best at capturing things at low-light! I wrote a little story inspired by a tree I saw, and wanted a photo of said tree to go along with the story.

But as it has been impossible for me, I'm posting this haiku in the meantime as a way to invoke the sun!

Sunbathing by the window
Soon enough, the hunt

This haiku was also inspired by this lovely pic a friend took of me and my cat, Ninfa.

Nice haiku! What is your cat's prey of choice? Mine can't resist clean laundry. 😁

Your friend's photo captured an adorable moment with your beautiful Ninfa!

I'll share with you my ritual to call forth the sun.

  • Run down the battery on your phone.
  • Hide the phone from yourself.
  • Enjoy tearing your home apart searching for said phone as the glorious rays shine down.

This also works for summoning a rainbow or a blue jay to perch itself on your windowsill. (It's a multipurpose formula.)

Ahahaha she prefers cold toes!

Also I've always loved this photo and I'm glad I could find a place to share it with the world :D

Thanks for the ritual too, I'll keep it mind. I have a hard time hiding things from myself though, would the ritual also work if I have someone else hide my phone for me?

Multipurpose formula 😂 you're too cool my friend.. only Bris.
