Burning Aztec Soul–Ronovan’s Challenge #69

Posted on Categories Uncategorized

Burning Aztec soul,

Paints grey clouds, writes a  fiery

poem with delight.

For me, the upward  flashes of light in recent sunset photos, create an Aztec sun image. The sun itself, plus the rays it paints on the clouds, create the  image. (Hopefully you see this too). At the end of this post I will show a picture of an Aztec Sun Stone. It is not quite the image in my mind, but the roots are there.

I wrote the haiku for Ronovan’s Haiku Challenge.  You might be wondering: “What happened to the prompt words, ‘haiku’ and ‘mind’?” Following Ronovan’s invitation to make use of Thesaurus.com, I looked up synonyms for the two prompts and chose to use ‘poem’ and ‘soul’. (The pun wasn’t intended, but I like it.)  Here is another photo of the sunset taken the same evening, followed by a picture of the Aztec calendar stone.

My name is Janice.  I started blogging as Ontheland when I moved from Toronto to a rural area near Kingston, Ontario in Canada.  Over time I have found myself writing poetry, mostly in Japanese forms, such as haiku and haibun.  One of my deepest interests is the natural world: the joy of it and how we can look after it better.
