One Deep Breath's Haiku Prompt: Bridges
I love bridges! Was hard to just choose two photos to post. . .
Icicle tears melt
creating rivers where earth
welcomed life before.
creating rivers where earth
welcomed life before.
***********
Arched steel begins here
to end in worlds less traveled
Life challenge beckons
~~~~
Red-orange coated steel
pulls my gaze away from trees
to colors of heart
~~~~
Skies blush pale night nears
stars lay in wait for darkness
Now! Leap out to shine
~~~~
Deep red arch declares
its strength against nature's wrath
daring earth's quaking
~~~~
oft painted girders
red against nature's soft blue
contrast signals life.

Top bridge is over creek at Lewis Street park, Monroe, WA that feeds the Skykomish River, taken after recent flood, which gratefully was less than the last one.
Bottom bridge is over the channel at La Conner, WA, the most wonderful of towns!

Wow, are these all good! Love your symbolism and photos of real bridges.
Sandy, thank you for seeing the symbolism and for commenting on them.
The first haiku really struck me. It can get pretty wild up there. Lovely photos as well.
That last ku is quite wonderful, IMHO. :-)
Roswila - it was the last one I wrote, and one of my favorites as well! Thank you for commenting.
Love the haiku and pictures.
"Red-orange coated steel

This is my favorite - nice work!
Jone - Wild and beautiful up here, I still can't believe it took me 54 years to find this, but ever so excited we did! Thank you for your comment!
Brian- Thank you for seeing good in my photos and Haiku and for commenting.
Neasa - I love that one because it internalizes what I felt that day. Thank you for commenting on it.
I enjoyed all of your haiku's! Some were so inspirational to life.
These were all wonderful! I liked the one with the stars leaping out to shine!
Wrd Muser - That you saw some inspirational to life is great!
Regina Clare Jane - The stars was the child in me playing hide 'n seek I think as much as loving the stars.
Thank you both for commenting on my Haiku.
Amazing how one picture can inspire so much word beauty, so many impressions.
Anneleelf - Thank you for seeing word beauty here and for commenting.
Marcia,
I can tell that you love bridges. ;-)
I liked the first haiku and photo best. For me the feel of nature in the raw creates a bridge between my mind and the creator.
I like the others because the tell of your peace with where you are.

Rel - The first was done last, I had totally forgotten about that photo! The second photo I had to crop to get identifiable people out of and lost the water as well. It is amazing to me that you read the peace in those. Thank you for commenting on them.
Nice batch. I really like the last one, its a certain simplicity and contrast and I retain it as a whole.
