A Gentling Art

The imagination runs wild! Cascades of caramel candy-corn torrent toward the corral.

The whisperer remains seated, back straight, eyes unfocused.

Imagination ninnies. Dragons scorch the house. Aliens land. Mushroom clouds burst!

The whisperer remains still.

Sighing, a chastened Imagination settles.

    A very creative twist to the Quadrille. When the horse is trained the rider can imagine!

    I love it when the imagination runs wild, Frank, like wild horses in the corral.

    The mushroom clouds took me to a dark place from thow horses (took me back to 4 horsemen of the apocalypse)

    Frank,

    Your haibun is excellent. You’ve skillfully contrasted the chaotic nature of the imagination with the calm and grounded presence of the whisperer.

    Sincerely,
    David
