Dicing nopales,
a woman clad in crimson
plies her cactus craft.

    You have a knack for finding the color red. This seems like such a delicate operation.

      You wouldn’t believe how skillfully this woman was wielding her knife–and she never sliced a finger!

    I would like to see her doing some of the work. She wore the right color on this day.

    Another great compilation of prompts … it is amazing to watch the preparation of nopales involving very skillfully held knives! Happy Wednesday!

    Wonderful haiku/senryu MMT. Love the picture and you have something with crimson I think. This color is strong in this verse.

    That looks like a start of cooking up a recipe in mind, on the run for ingredients. 😀
