Here’s Colleen Chesebro’s #TANKA TUESDAY #POETRY CHALLENGE NO. 205, #POET’SCHOICE. I’m using a picture I took and adding in a Haiku, which when combined is a Hagia. For more information on Syllabic Poetry check out Colleen’s Cheatsheet.
Every year I make a calendar for my family and friends using my photographs. I decided to branch out and add my Haigas. Here’s the one I’m using for December.
The picture was taken the year my husband, son, and I took a scenic drive on Christmas day because we celebrated with the family the day before. It was an amazing adventure for us, including some four-wheeling in the snow. We ended up in Reno and had a burger feast.
The three trees reminded me of the three wise men.
Beautiful, Denise! I love it. 💚
Thank you Gwen:)

Thank you, Teagan. I really enjoy writing poetry:) Sending hugs right back to you xo
They, poem and photo, are just beautiful. What a wonderful idea of a calendar. It must be looked forward to by many.
Thank you, Lisa:) I enjoy making the calendar, it gives me a good reason to be out taking pictures. There have been years I’ve wanted to skip doing it but I’ve been encouraged to do it.
That is such an awesome and creative idea, Denise. This photo and the poem are beautiful!
Thank you Jan. It’s a lot of fun to do and I thought adding in the Haikus could blend two things I love. Xo
That is lovely, picture and words. Thanks for that poem today.
I’m glad you liked it Jacqui:)
Three nature’s wise men. I love it.

Thanks Sandra. It was quite a sight:)
So beautiful, Denise. You’re going to have a wonderful calendar this year. <3
Thanks, Diana:) I’m looking forward to working on it more soon.
What a view and a lovely memory! Do you frame these, Denise?
Thank you, Jacquie:) I have a few of my pictures framed from when I entered them in the local fair. I haven’t tried with the words added.
Beautiful words, Denise.
Thank you Robbie 🙂 xo
I love the idea of a calendar with your pictures and haigas. Both thoughtful and personal.

Thanks you Sandra. I’m glad I can share two of my passions.
Doing the rain dance here.
Have a pleasant, productive weekend.
Thanks Sandra. We need your dance. They might shut our power down next week for fire danger…
Almost have the book ready to publish…fingers crossed.
That is so cute! Lovely Denise. 🙂
Thank you, Marje 🙂
You’re welcome Denise. 🙂
Just lovely! I especially like the idea of a haiga calendar using your own photos and poetry. Brilliant! <3
Thank you, Colleen:) I’ve done my photos for years and thought this would be a fun change.
It’s brilliant… and if you could figure out a way to market the calendars I think people would buy them. I know I would. <3
A wonderful idea. You are very creative and talented.
Thank you Karen. I’m enjoying doing it, but learned I needed to have them sized right. I’m excited to see the final outcome. Xo
