I like this concise piece complimented by your artistry. Lovely work!
I love the swirling vibe of the colors you describe. For some reason, this poem reminds me of coral.
Nice!
oh wow! the history your line carried. super!
Thanks.
A mesmerising haibun. The stones are hypnotic.
Thanks Vivian.

Thanks Dwight.
ochre-stained mentality! Wow! And the cave—very nice, Petru.
Thanks Nan.
I liked the phrase “ochre-stained mentality”.
The color does fade from many things – but I find artifacts and historical things non the less fascinating.
Such beautiful bits of nature. Thank you for sharing.
So beautifully written. I enjoyed reading your haibun very much.
The words and images work really well together. Slightly enigmatic.
This makes me think of a prehistoric artist and the creations of a deep, distant cave.
Interesting! Thank you.
🙂 The first artists.
When I made these it was a compulsion. When I arranged it in this composition I thought: Africa!
The colours are unique, those grey/green/blues and blacks. Very attractive.
As is. Just polished them up once done. Thanks.
Good work.
Love the way you tied this to your artwork… I feel like I’m raised from the rock…
Thanks!
This is gorgeous! I love stones and have several lined up on my bookshelf. I love the feel of them in my hands, their textures and colours, which you’ve captured beautifully in this haibun, in ‘the earth’s imagined corners reshaped’ and the haiku.
Thanks Kim. Let the stones speak kind of thing, eh?
wow, nice words. what are the objects?
Small stones I carved over a period of time and combined in the composition as in the photo.
I like how you explore depth of identity through color. Fascinating response to the prompt.
Thanks Amaya.

Beautiful objects, true poetry.
Thank you!
