Dear
Haijin, visitors and travelers,
It’s a
little while ago that I published an episode of Carpe Diem’s Imagination,
because of lack of time, but I have taken the decision to publish Imagination
once in a month starting today with (in my opinion) an extraordinary painting
by Pablo Picasso it’s titled “the seated man” and I used it in one of the
novels I have written. It had a important place in that novel and now I love to
use it for Carpe Diem.s Imagination.
The goal of
Imagination is to use the photo, picture or (as today occurs) a painting for
you inspiration. Say it’s a kind of painting with words ... so have fun, be
inspired and share your Imagination-haiku with us all here at Carpe Diem.

| Pablo Picasso's "The Seated Man" |
The Seated
Man is a late painting by Picasso and as I can recall from my lessons of
Art-history when he painted this he was ill and sat in a wheelchair.
I waoder if you, my dear haijin, visitors and travelers, can write a new haiku inspired on this painting. So it's a challenge.
My attempt:
in the backyard
in the shadow of the willow tree
a seated man
in the shadow of the willow tree
a seated man
a seated man
in deep devotion to Mother Nature
in the backyard
in deep devotion to Mother Nature
in the backyard
Not a strong one I guess, but I love it anyway.
This episode of Imagination is open for your submissions until September 30th 11.59 AM (CET). Have fun, be inspired and share your haiku with our haiku-community.
Love the picture and the story behind it... I can see the man in your haiku... I placed him in the sunshine instead though
ReplyDeleteI apologize for what I see in the art. It's common for me to see yuck in abstract, especially Picasso. Maybe one day my past will stop being part of my haiku. I love when beauty comes out though. Feel a bit more balanced lately with subject matter.
ReplyDeleteArt always lends inspiration - thanks Kristjaan for another creative jolt
