Rhyme
The word prompt for my fiber postcard group this month is "rhyme". I had a plan for this piece that went awry. I started out with a haiku by Basho, a 17th century Japanese poet:
How reluctantly
the bee emerges from the deep
within the peony
then it drifted into a pun, 2 bee, my bee turned out to be a wasp, and there's no rhyme in sight. I guess that's the way it goes sometimes. I like it anyway.
Today's incongruity: shoveling three inches of snow in the pouring rain. I'm talking cats and dogs, literal buckets of rain. I couldn't have been more wet if I had taken a shower fully clothed. The driveway's clear though. Gotta love February.

I like this a lot. great example for good composition!
The writing teacher in me leaps to point out that "green" and "bee" are half rhymes. And how subtly you managed that...

Wow...that is really beautiful. Love the colors and your composition. Best wishes. Love, Wyanne
I love the haiku! Your fabric post card makes it more fun!
i like it a lot!
I like this and the pun aspect of it. And, if you hadn't said anything, I wouldn't have known that the wasp wasn't a bee.
lovely......
and eek, rain and snow!!!
I am so, so glad you used a Basho haiku! :)
