My apologies, but it seems that SenHai #18 was a repeat of SenHai #6! So glad I realized that I had duplicated it when I began the next post. Regardless of the repeat, I adored your new responses. :)
Here is this week’s image to get your creative juices flowing!
This image features a small child standing in front of a Christmas window display, wearing a red insulated winter jacket and a matching red hat. The scene is filled with small snowflakes falling all around.
Please create one senryu and one haiku to accompany this image prompt. Remember that a traditional haiku describes nature or a season, while a senryu focuses on human nature and emotions.
Then, provide a link in the comments below or ping back to this post on your blog.
Here is a wrap-up of last week’s prompt. I appreciate each of you for sharing your thoughts!
Carolyn – SenHai Saturday #18
Eugenia – #Senhai Saturday – 9/20/25
Tina – Autumn’s Broken Memories
Nolcha – Lavender
Carol Anne – Sen-hai Saturday #18
Cheryl – Senhai Saturday
Lisa – Wonders
Sarah – Aurora’s Embrace
Violet – Water’s Edge

Thanks!

Hmmm. I’m sorry it’s not working properly. My guess is a WP glitch. But thank you for contributing!

No, it’s from my side that they don’t work; they don’t work anywhere on WP. 🤔

He stood bedazzled
allured by the razzmatazz
magic unfolding
winter’s fairy dust
falls lightly on his shoulders
Christmas enchantment
