Here is this week’s Colleen Chesebro Tanka Tuesday Poetry Challenge #248. It’s a Photo Prompt, and the picture was provided by Sangeetha, from MindFills .
I love photo or image challenges for writing poems and short stories. This one immediately spoke to me and became a haiku 5/7/5.

life strips away leaves
leaving imagination
where happiness blooms
