Welcome to SenHai Saturday #1!
I will provide the image to get your creative juices flowing, and your mission (should you choose to accept it) will be to contribute one senryu and one haiku to this poetry prompt. Remember that a traditional haiku describes nature or a season, and senryu tends to focus on human nature and emotions.
Please provide a link in the comments below or do a ping-back to this post on your blog.
I’ll provide the roundup and the next SenHai prompt the following Saturday. Does it sound simple yet challenging? I hope so!
Can’t wait to see what your brains and your senses reveal!

Hi Susi! Here’s mine (pingback should be on its way):

Way back when you were inviting Haiku (only) entries, I got totally involved. But over time, my creative juices (outside of regular writing) pretty much dried up. 😞 But I will definitely be interested in reading what others have to offer!
P.S. To show how out of circulation I’ve been … I had never heard of “SenHai”!
