Inspired by a post on cosistories who was inspired by a michnavs response to the January #writingPrompt on Myths of the Mirror. I call this a Haiku but know it isn’t. I don’t usually take challenges so I hope I did this right. 🙂

Great photo and poem to go with it. Fun to see you respond (in a way) to Diana’s prompt. I was a bit of a rebel too. :–) I’m in SF right now where the fog makes everything ethereal

I lived in the bay area for 20 years before we moved to Boston. So I was visiting family and friends. SF bay are will always be “home” to me. xo

Rob, well done! This is a creative and clever response to the prompt.
Plus the image and the poem are both lovely on their own. Fog lends such mystery, doesn’t it.
Hugs on the wing.

That’s more tolerable. I grew up in place where the humidity was always high, at 100 degrees it was like living in a sweat box.

I don’t like the high humidity and heat either, If up north it will be humid as as well as hot…….., Geelong is down south…
