    That photo would be such an excellent prompt…just stunning and tells so many stories;
    mourning dove
    sturdy branch holds on
    seeks peace

    A mourning dove.. and god turning away.. somehow it shows a barren word where only the earth, the tree supports us.. a very strong symbolism in this haiku
