One Single Impression posts: Deb Godin of The Cloud Messenger brings us this week's prompt, smoke. Thank you!
***
lightning
strikes at tall pines
...red sun
***
spring retreats
ancient forest ignites
...false clouds
***
truthiness
hidden in fervor
felled by smoke

The fractal was created in Apophysis, resized in Irfanview.
I think I see a skull in there. Do you?

I see the skull. I thought, "No way," at first, and then I thought, yup, a skull.
I enjoyed these very much. We are experiencing an electrical storm right now, so the first one was exciting.
I hope the spring does not retreat.
There IS a skull in there!
Loved these--especially the last one! And the skull...
Thanks--
oooh i definitely see the skull! i really like the first haiku.. very true that the sky is a fiery red when there's smoke in the air. very appropriate.
Me too sees the skull :)The second one is my favourite.
I see a lot in these lines....mystic and unconventional.Simply loved it!!!!
Pls do drop by my blog as well...there's a new poem and I love ur coments.
You always describe nature excellently.
Yeah cool, 'truthiness' is groovy!!
I see your skull and will raise you an Aboriginal tribesman with the enlarged lip ring! Do you see the ring? Or is it just me.
The power of a wild natural forest fire understandably instills too much fear in us to really appreciate the power in it - the land renewing itself in tandem with the lightning, the sun turning red. Beautiful words here!
I like the first poem the most! Great drawing Sue, love it.
Hugs, G
...false clouds
smoke
lightning
ignites ancient fervor/(rearranged-)
..ur essay on environment..
Oh yes, Sue, I see that skull. That would be a great no smoking ad.
I don't have a favorite this time. They are equally well done.
Oh I see it too; weird. You and I were thinking along the same lines I see. No pun intended. After all the snow we've had it would be ironic to suffer a smoke filled summer. I really liked these Sue. the first one gripped my heart.
Must be the power of suggestion, Tumbleword, because I see it too!
These are some beautiful gems you wrote.
"...red sun
...false clouds
felled by smoke"
I loved these lines.
thoughtful verses, nature is often fierce and dreadful yet impersonal - no animosity. I like the second verse the best, the "false clouds" of smoke.
Oh- I see the skull- very cool. I enjoyed the poems...loved the words "false clouds" Nicely done.
I especially like your second poem. And I too see a skull - with flowing hair...
Those were genuinly good ... I mean, so many words hidden all over!!!
Thanks for sharing :)
No skull seen by me.
But I like the rhythmness of your haikus.
Somebody is always smoking things up, aren't they, Sue?
We (Central Texas) have rain now but until then we had been under burn bans and putting out forest fires. Most of them were started by carless or malicious people.

I like these! The first, 'lightning' is my favourite. And that fractal picture is just a little freaky.
