This post is part of Linda’s Stream of Consciousness Saturday where our prompt was “shape.”

Thanks for looking in on me today. I always look forward to our visits,

Very nice shapes! I noticed the image and text overlay were both flashing alternately in the email post on Google. At least, I thought it was part of the “shape” theme, but then I see that doesn’t do this here in WordPress Reader (just a Gmail quirk, I guess).

I used Fotoflexer to add my Tanka poem to the picture I took out behind our house this summer of the fog. You can find fotoflexer at http://fotoflexer.com/. I actually had the text “glittery” to mimic the fog. Hope it works on my website. Thank you.

Actually I guess it did have a glittery effect in the email post but not in WP Reader, although the flashing was a bit distracting. Thanks for Fotoflexer link.

Sorry about the distraction. It looks right on my website. The reader is not the best I know. Fotoflexer is fun! I use my own photos and add my Haiku and Tanka. Enjoy

So that’s Tanka? Been wondering about that…

5/7/5/7/7 = 5 lines, with the syllables listed. A bit longer than a Haiku. 🙂

What a beautiful image! It’s quite vivid with your “contours of a broken heart.” The picture has a lot of texture, like an oil painting…I can almost feel the wind there… And I got to learn about “Tanka” poetry and glittery text too! Thanks 🙂

I took the picture this summer. It is right out back off our patio. We call it the “horse hole.” The neighbor horses stick their heads over and beg for carrots. The fog gets really thick here in Pensacola. Glad you liked it.
