all the power of a mind
once it filled a mall
now it fits in my pocket
skyscraper in the desert
wind scours it clean
while its tenants fly above
golden syrup holds the sun
in its depth the glow
streams of light as she pours
crystalline the water falls
in a hidden world
in its pool the naiads play
butterfly wings on her back
she soars through the air
now she is gone from my sight

Beautiful post and photos!!!
This was so blissfully beautiful to look at and read. Thanks for sharing it.
Lovely photos and accompanying Haikus
Maybe you should extend your vacation in Italy
. Great stuff!
These are really interesting. I especially like the last one. The imagery in all of them is great. The metaphor of the sun “pouring golden syrup of light” is fine.
Thanks, everyone, for your kind words. I’m glad my words and the pictures went together so well, especially since they were technically written for other pictures. >;< My fault entirely, I've been totally out of touch for over a week now, and sporadic before that, so I wasn't here to double-check the post. Luckily, the beautiful pictures more than made up for my somewhat muddled poems…and maybe Mr. Mike will give me permission to repost them with the other pics someday!

I recognize the first photo. That’s American Basin in the San Juans of Colorado! Great place.
Just wanted to let you know that I’ve nominated you for the Kreativ Blogger award.

I love the third photo and its accompanying haiku best. Just beautiful.
