Here is this week’s image to get your creative juices flowing!
This week’s image is of a single tree in a desolate area, with the sun setting behind it and a mountain range in the background.
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!
**To all my micro-poetry lovers on this prompt, if you haven’t sent in a submission to this cycle of The Short of It, and you want to, just a reminder: there’s still time, but we are getting close to capacity. Don’t be shy, you are ALL worthy of being a part of this little project!

Hi Susi! Here’s mine…
you see loneliness
I am made of sterner stuff
leaders stand alone
as the sun goes down
branches raised in supplication
will the moon oblige

Thanks Susi, wonderful photo as always. I am pasting the link to my blog, as I am still having problems liking/commenting on blogs – the ‘Happiness Engineers’ are struggling to resolve the problem. It has been 3 weeks now!
