haiku #585: a splash of colour / cherry tree petals / drifting silently falling

a splash of colour
cherry tree petals drifting
silently falling

Marc Sheridan is an ever-curious person who loves what is just around the corner: the unusual and the mysterious. Even everyday objects and scenes can always be viewed differently.

He is English but currently living in the US, and he always remembers what Ansel Adams once said, "You don't take a photograph, you make it." Marc believes that photography rewards him with a greater connection to everything around him.

Lately, Marc has been writing haiku, but he's not sure whether he illustrates his photos with haiku or reveals his haiku through photography.

He has been published in numerous magazines in the US and the UK and has exhibited up and down the West Coast of the US for the past 23 years.

This was my contribution for Disquiet Junto Project 0724: Work it. The Assignment: The year’s almost over. Do that thing you’ve been meaning to do.

Here’s a copy of my post on the Disquiet Junto 0724 discussion thread on Lines:

I have a tendency to overwork a track to the point where it drifts away from what I initially envisioned. Many times it works out okay but other times, it doesn’t. So this time I backed off and tried to keep it minimal, which was my original vision.

Created in Ableton Live using Slate + Ash Cycles and a MIDI keyboard

Little song for Kinsha haiku:
"Some starlight
spared from being scooped up
four-handed net."

The title “Llum recollida amb les mans" in my island language is like "Light gathered in the hands” trying to evoke the image of the haiku where light is harvested with a single gesture, as if it were a living substance. The literal translation of haiku takes on another meaning, and the words must be changed so that they have the same poetic meaning.

I came across this poem in the book "An Anthology of Haiku, Ancient and Modern" by Asataro Miyamori. The poet’s surname and the publication date are unknown; only the name Kinsha remains.
