Yellow

Carpe Diem Time Machine #4, Yellow

Paloma has once again given an interesting prompt for the Haiku Kai.

Here is Paloma's effort at haiku inspired by the painting:

morning washing –
the scent of yellow grass
clinging to my hem 

long into morning -
the scent of mud and green things
baked on yellow stones

drawbridge creaks

she bends to the drudgery

stone washboard

water drawn

kettle's boiling hot water

washboard scrubbing

conclusions drawn

whites neither grey nor yellow

washboard success

sketches drawn
mechanized wash day wonder!

washboard retired

curtains drawn

hillbilly band plays a jig
washboard strummed
