coy brew of lilac
spiked with leaf lace. My chalice brims!

There’s a good chance I should have edited my FINGER out of the picture, but no; the photography is as down and dirty as the haiku/senryu, as is only proper, right? Right.
THIRTY MINUTES LATER UPDATE: I think I like this one better.
Potent potion. Sip

deep draughts of springtime.
Okay, I need to quit writing these haiku/senryu things; I have dental appointments to make and boxes to pack. But, seriously, the spring storm roaring outside the window – the frost last night, the brief sun this morning – it all turned into a sap-green-shimmering muse.
Wow.
what divatobe said! I like the effect of the finger too!
I like the “sap-green shimmering muse.” It’s a part of a song, I think.
Actually like the finger-in-the-photo-effect; lends a glow to the spring shot.
Oh, like both of them! Lovely lilacs :).
Oooh–love that it’s spiked. I love that coy brew. But then I love the deep draughts of springtime. That’s the problem when we get variations:>) Yes on the down and dirty. Who has time to revise, edit photos, etc. I like the immediacy and roughness of blogs. Hopefully, all the editors hunting down our blogs (ha!) don’t hold that against us.
