Majestic spread wings
Perched upon The Renaissance
Leaving his good luck
*The above haiku poem is my response to the One Stop Poetry Sunday Picture Prompt Challenge. The prompt was shot by photographer & poet James Rainsford. He is the featured artist today on One Stop Poetry.

nice one…lol
March 20, 2011 at 1:10 am
Ha! thanks, adam, for bringing a smile. That’s definitely my kind of luck–the born under a bad sign kind…and its obvious both you and James have a fully functional irreverence happening.

Excellent, Shashi. You capture omniscience and question the reader’s perception. I like that very much.
March 20, 2011 at 4:44 am
It’s hard to miss the dark stain in the man’s face and yet, those beautiful light-filled wings somehow create a sense of dignity! A fun haiku!
March 20, 2011 at 4:48 am
Well done! Like it very much
March 20, 2011 at 6:09 am
Yes, he does look a bit s—faced. Must have had a rough night at the rathskeller.
March 20, 2011 at 6:10 am
I came searching for who this reniassance man is and then I have to put up with this crap! 🙂
March 20, 2011 at 6:25 am
@Ted @Jerry I see the Sunday crew does not lack in humor 🙂
March 20, 2011 at 6:47 am
Wow Adam! What an interesting voice you have. If I ever issue an audio book of poetry, I want you to be the reader. Thanks, James.
March 20, 2011 at 8:10 am
Thank you, James. I’m enjoying your work!

i think he might be leaving more than that in a runny pile…lol. i likehow the last line can refer to eaither of them…
March 20, 2011 at 7:19 am
{giggle} i tried to find something online to get details of why fishermen call getting pooped on by a bird good luck and couldn’t find anything. now i’m glad i didn’t because i wouldn’t have come up with anything near as good as your haiku, Adam. it is a beautiful bird. great photo.
March 20, 2011 at 7:28 am
I think this is what I love about poetry – how the words and line can have different meanings — life lifting off from the Renaissance; the future built upon the shoulders of the past; the debt that’s owed to who and what has gone before; even some of the ignorance of the past we display. Good one, Adam.
March 20, 2011 at 7:37 am
Exactly, Glynn! Semantic flexibility is a main reason why I am drawn to the art of poetry. Cheers
March 20, 2011 at 7:45 am
ha – your voice sounded majestic as well with all the reverb – love when you read your poems adam
do we know who this guy is? maybe go back and look if i find the name, would be interesting..
March 20, 2011 at 7:49 am
Richard Hooker at Exeter Cathedral (according to Glynn’s post)
ha! I love playing with reverb & echo 🙂
March 20, 2011 at 8:48 am
Richard Hooker!!! LOL. No, no, no. I’m not going anywhere with this. No way!
March 20, 2011 at 9:15 am
excellent haiku! love the word play! as someone who has had “luck” dropped on her head twice, I can appreciate this one!
March 20, 2011 at 9:19 am
Ha, Adam! Definitely you captured the irreverence and humor of the photo. Nice job!
March 20, 2011 at 10:04 am
I too came to see if this fellow’s name was findable, your poem made me LOL ! Too Funny !
March 20, 2011 at 10:34 am
*snort!*
March 20, 2011 at 10:53 am
the picture looks amazing,… and lovely Haiku.
March 20, 2011 at 11:10 am
I’m glad this is an interpretive art form 🙂
Peace, hp
March 20, 2011 at 1:30 pm
You and me both, brother. lol
March 20, 2011 at 11:15 am
Ha ha, brilliant
March 20, 2011 at 11:27 am
*giggles*
Loved it!
March 20, 2011 at 11:45 am
Good piece, made me smile (despite its icky luck).
March 20, 2011 at 11:50 am
A voice from the past.
March 20, 2011 at 12:14 pm
the seagull looks like part of the statue.
March 20, 2011 at 12:38 pm
^giggles^ so this is where I have gotten it wrong: not seeing luck for how it is. Thank you!
March 20, 2011 at 12:57 pm
Icky Adam, cut the poor guy some slack, no one needs luck like that 😉
March 20, 2011 at 1:06 pm
Is that a comment on the statue or the Renaissance? Or both? 🙂 Nicely done!
March 20, 2011 at 1:56 pm
Quite clever I think…and amusing.
March 20, 2011 at 3:14 pm
This is very cool– is that the actual name of the “scholar”, as I think of him? First I thought it was Dante in Verona, my favorite statue in the world, but then I thought, nah. xxxj
March 20, 2011 at 3:30 pm
I’ve never seen the statue and I didn’t come across info in photo file. However, Glynn who runs Faith, Fiction, Friends site says it’s Anglican theologian Richard Hooker at Exeter Cathedral. Check his link. (Excellent poetry too).

March 20, 2011 at 4:36 pm
Luck indeed:) Good one, Adam.
March 20, 2011 at 5:49 pm
Terribly clever, nice work.
March 20, 2011 at 8:49 pm
Good Luck? Is it just seagulls? Big smile 🙂 Dustus

March 20, 2011 at 9:31 pm
“…perched on ‘The Rennaissance’…” I love the reference to a ‘golden age’. Nice haiku for luck!
March 22, 2011 at 1:37 pm
Leaving his “good luck”? Well, I guess we know what the bird thought of his theology! LOL I at first thought “WHAT am I going to be able to come up with a poem for this! But it ended up being a fun picture prompt. I always say “I can’t do this one…” I’m learning a lot and enjoying One Stop Poetry so much!
March 29, 2011 at 8:28 am
LOLsss
Hilarious!!! lolssss
