Things are getting out of hand…

[Ari Chase-Ramos]

Way up in the sky

Trying to fly through the stars

Don't let the dog die

[Honeygloom]

It is an awful long way down to Earth… Love this!! I always think it’s funny how they draw Canis Minor on the unicorn’s back.

[Honeygloom]

Be your own monster!! Omg, I love these all.

[Gloria Horton-Young]

Honeygloom, five haiku inspired by your image and prompt, each in the style of a famous haiku poet:

Matsuo Bashō style:

Monoceros beast

A three-foot black horn protrudes

Mythical wonder

—

Kobayashi Issa style:

Not a unicorn

But a beast of my own heart

I embrace my truth

—

Richard Wright style:

Elasmothere horn

Majestic yet misunderstood

Society's lie

—

Jack Kerouac style:

Dig that crazy horn

Monoceros ain't no square

Be your own monster

—

Yosa Buson style:

In the mountain mist

Monoceros stands alone

Noble and unfazed

[Lique]

Did you create this beast?

[Honeygloom]

Nope! The Monoceros is a beast of antiquity. The one in the picture is real though, an elasmotherium, a prehistoric relative of the rhino.

[Lique]

ok.
