Description: A cartoon drawn in black and white. The haiku sits top and center in white "Caflisch Script Pro Bold" outlined in black. A backdrop of flames covers a darkened space, while a figure seated cross-legged on a cloud and a cat with bat wings occpy by the foreground. The figure on the cloud occupies the left side of the image. They are split colour-wise down the middle, white with dark hair on the left, dark with light, floating, whispy hair on the right. They reach a darkened hand with unnaturally long fingers toward the black bat cat, which hovers curiosly toward the hand.... Created in Adobe Photoshop Elements.

Description: A stark, black and white image. The haiku sits in the top right in white "Courier Regular" haloed in shadow. The background is a cloudy sky, textured like an old photograph, with a small crop duster plane approaching the center from the bottom left. The center of the image is occupied by a chaotic visual - a human heart as it would appear in an x-ray, semi-transparent and echoing over the center, creating the impression of jittering and shuddering. Created in Adobe Photoshop.

Description: A house in flames. The haiku sits top and center in white "Flood Std Regular" outlined in black. The colours are saturated, fiery, and dark, reduced to extremes of light, shadow, and hue. The center of the house's exterior features a giant eye looking off into the distance, a stream of red tears hinted at just under the bottom eyelid. Created in Adobe Photoshop Elements.

Description: A black and white comic book scene featuring the central heroine (Juliet Starling of the Lollipop Chainsaw games) in pigtails and a cheerleading outfit, surrounded by zombies. She weilds a chainsaw, and the expression on her face is one of fierce glee. Helicopters fly in from the surrounding sky, the landscape suspiciously resembling that of No Man's sky. In place of The Atlas, a Tamagotchi Angel hangs suspended in the sky. Above this, the words of the haiku Arch over the landscape in white "Blackoak Std Regular" font outlined in black.

Description: A dark, cloudy atmosphere. The haiku sits in the top center in white "Postino Std Regular" font with dark outlining. Behind it, a blooming firework hangs in the darkness. On the right, a pair of hands extends toward the left holding a smarphone. On the left, a figure sits in the shadows, distorted like an old film image. Their head is bowed, right elbow resting on raised right knee so that the right hand props the head in a weary, resigned manner. The appear mostly unclothed, except for some boxers. The whole image appears in washed-out, cloudy colours with bright highlights and cold shadows. Created in Adobe Photoshop Elements.

#micropoetry #FoundPoetry #poem #art #digital #illustration #collage #photomanipulation #AdobephotoshopElements
Description: A scene on the water - pale sky, choppy waves, a dingy adrift, carrying a lone figure drinking from a large bottle. The haiku sits top and center in white Catfisch Script Pro Regular font. The atmosphere seems to have the texture of crumpled paper, and the figure in the boat appears cut from an old, sepia toned photograph. What little can be deciphered of their features indicates that they have long, dark hair and are wearing a dark T-shirt. The figure sits at the far left end of the boat, and the elbow of the arm holding the bottle hangs over the side of the boat. Created in Adobe Photoshop Elements.

#poem #art #digital #illustration #collage #photomanipulation #AdobePhotoshopElements #patience #breath
Description: A tired looking figure, placed in the bottom right and echoed in the top right. Black and white, monstly covered in shadow, light values reversed for the echo in the top left. The figure faces the right so their profile is clearly visible. They sit amongst what looks like bed covers, wearing a tank top and some kind of loose bottoms. As they pull their long, curly hair back with their right hand, what little can be seen of their expression seems to be completely neutral. The backdrop is alleged to be an image of the fuelling room of an abandoned nuclear reactor, clouded and appearing in pale grey and pastel hues, shades of blue, orange, and yellow accenting the ghostly grey. Finally, the haiku sits top and center in white "Courier Std Bold" font outlined in black. Created in Adobe photoshop.

Description: A closeup of a sign reading "UNSTABLE CLIFFS STAY BACK" on a background of rocks. The sign and background are obscured by numerous glass, corked bottles of various sizes suspended in the foreground. Each contains a figure, standing with their back to the viewer, with short-cropped hair, wearing a long sleeved (possibly plaid) shirt and trousers. The figures appear in very greyed-out colours, and the whole image has the texture of an old photo. Finally, the haiku sits in the center of the image in white "Courier Std Bold" outlined in black.

Description: A white background, blending with what is presumably the white body of an electric guitar. The guitar stretches horizontally accross the image, close up on the pack guard area, with the meck stretching off into the distance on the right. All the parts that aren't white have a metallic, silver sheen, with colours mostly made of greys leaning toward blue, green, and yellow hues. The words of the haiku sit below the neck in medium green-grey "Flood Std Regular" font, follwing the frets into the distance. The body of the guitar, the pick guard, appears to be filled with motor machinery - and also host to four ghostly looking dice..... Art created in Adobe Photoshop Elements.

Description: A grainy old photo of a deteriorating billboard visible behind distant treetops. In the foreground, a figure on the right side of the image seems to be playfully hopping over a weathered, wooden fence. They are young and slight of build, have straight, shoulder-length hair, and are dressed in a dark coloured tank top and beige shorts. A face smiles knowingly at the viewer from the left side of the billboard, seeming to allude to whatever was being advertised before that got replaced with the words of the haiku in white "Bodoni Bk BT Book" font outlined in black.

Description: A dark background. The haiku occupies the center of the image in white "Bodoni Bk BT Book" font. Laughing skulls litter the scene. Amidst the chaos, behind the words of the haiku, stands a figure in a dark grey suit and matching bowler hat. They hold a can in their left hand and a briefcase in their right. Their head, or the space their head would have occupied, is engulfed by a pale cloud, which appears to be what the hat rests on. Art created in Adobe Photoshop.

Description: A golden, glowing image.  The haiku sits in the top left in white Sanvito Pro Bold outlined in a left-to-right gradient of dark to golden brown. The central figure in this scene is a stack of five cheese rounds, one sitting atop the stack on its edge, as if to act as a face. Transparent bat or dragon wings extend from the back of the stack, and golden light seems to emanate from this figure in a bright halo.  The surrounding scene is snowy, with tree branches overhead.  On the ground, four cars surround that cheese stack facing it as though in reverence.

Description: Yellow dawn over a darkened plain, mountains looming in the distance. The haiku sits top and center in white “Segoe Script Bold” font outlined in black. In the foreground, a figure with long-black hair in a black dress kneels in the center of a subtly burning circle, seeming to explore the ground within the circle. White, forked lightning erupts out of the ground around them. Their skin is luminous with shadows of blue, midtones of yellow-green, and edges of fire. The outline of the figure is edged with a pale, glowing aura, which also dances around the edge of the circle.

Description: A nebulous background of greys, shadows, and other neutrals, lit by a dimly glowing orb in the top right corner. The words of the haiku seem to flow from a distant spot in the top center of the image in white “Segoe Script Bold” font. In the same spot, a hand holding a pen is visible within the shadowy clouds. The paper it writes on stretches into the foreground. The writing thus far reads “Dear Nicky & Richard, Wishing You” in black cursive. In the background, a tubular whirlwind also emanates from the spot occupied by the hand, perhaps creating the clouds. The whole image has a faintly wrinkled texture, like paper.

Description: An eerie vignette enclosed in darkness. A dark forest of icy blue, white, and black provides a backdrop to four glowing figures clustered together in the center foreground. They appear human, dressed in 1800s clothes, but all in glowing white and blue with dark, sapphire coloured skin. They stand in the snow amidst the trees perhaps wondering what to do next. The haiku sits top and center in white “Bickham Script Pro 3 Bold” outlined in black.
