Ordinary day—
in a narrow little street
dawn flirts with the stones.

How beautiful? Are stones responding? Could be very intersting…

Ah, dawn flirts,
happy stones respond;
empty street..

This is an inspired haiku very spontaneous ..MMT.. hope you will like it..

Romance n night always go hand in hand… but for the first time dawn and flirt sounds really pleasing! 🙂
Painting heart with hope.

What a fabulous view – we could be transported back 100 or more years, this being an urban setting without the modern accoutrements of electricity or cars. Unseen, it seems to be of a quieter era long ago…

Ah, but this begs the question-is it an ordinary day? Is any day really an ordinary day or are they all extraordinary?

I believe I’ll hang on to the latter…great shot (demonstrates the feeling of infinity very well by way of perspective), great haiku!!

I love the Haiku and I would love to walk down the street to see where it takes me.

Such a clean little walk way. I assume no one drives down there.

  Correct you are! It’s for pedestrians only–perfect for an evening, or morning, stroll!

Wonder if it is in the shade most of the day? Looks very narrow.

What a lovely, shadow-y street!

The haiku, initially, seems to paint the bland spirit of the streetscape, but then tweaks the comfort with the light flirting! Haiku beautifully complements the image!

Such an aura of mystery!
