I love both the monochrome and the full color images. Your haiku is, as always, terrific.
That is an interesting shot both ways! Good to see you in the tag!
Hey, this is a good aphorism (and echoes a universal, spiritual truth)
Nice pics, too, Pryde ✌🏼
Thanks you, Yahia. I love tanka for its ability to transmit wisdom:)
Beautiful and clever, @prydefoltz ☻
You know, I attended a workshop once; we were learning about children's philosophy (which should be pluralized, I think), and the speaker asked us what would happen if all humans shared the same race. I told him, we would certainly find another kind of racism (unfortunately, various types already exist). Your poem reminds of this brief but significant moment in my life, for I learned that skin color is just an excuse for us to make a statement: difference is real and it has to show.
Now I see those sunflowers, your "yellow suns drained to noir," and the only thing I can think of is that the absence of some distinctive traits just make stealth truths come to surface.
Thank you, Marlyn. I really appreciate this personalized and astute commentary:)
