Nice!
Thank you
What an original subject! Nicely done!
A nice daily prompt – open to anyone
you know…sometimes i wish i had four hands..but then…the more hands, the more work..probably…? ha…smiles
Ha indeed …
haha. Great one.
As a magician I think this Haiku is awesome! What a smile on my face!
Thank you .. I always beware the lower hand.
Good sleight of hand is making 1000 hands look like one. 😉
The magician and illusion…true….
at least that’s one of the way the magician works
Just so long as the hand does not travel below the table, all the virgins will sleep easy.
😉
a magical duo….well-written and fun……
Awesome … like this painting … and your haiku on ‘The Magician’
Love this take and see how inspired you were by the painting…or was it the other way around? Too many hands.
I love the world of illusion, which you have portrayed so well in words and image!
Desert Magician
The Magritte was the perfect illustration for your fine haiku!
Thank you… it’s so fun to keep looking for paintings that fits the prompt.
Beautiful.
Thank you…both were excellent …
Peace

I love Magritte. If I could, I would buy his works and decorate my house with them. (Yeah, that budget is not in my future, sadly). I love your take on this one.
Excellent as always Bjorn. A wonderful way to respond to teh prompt 🙂
The Magician
Oh my..so many fascinating poems for Carpe Diem..the prompts are great. You execute the haiku and other forms with such ease…and I love the images you fine 😉
Ahh kkkkaty you should join… we have a lot of fun on Carpe Diem
oh the picture is a find/ never saw this one of Magrite
you angle the haiku very well with the image
This is a great summation of the magician’s art.
Thank you – actually wrote it before I found the picture by Magritte
I like the play on words. Very nicely done!
