June theme: waterways
For June, let's think waterways -- oceans, rivers, canals.
Since I got to choose the prompt, I made my haiku in advance. It features a photo I took of a ship going through the locks in the Panama Canal. The found haiku reads:
it's the same old talk
same old view of the canal
some work at the docks
Robin -- I have lots of pages already found and cut, so sometimes I can just go through my envelope, find an appropriate poem for the prompt, and then make it up into art. Of course it's much harder to find the poem than to make the art.

Kathy this is Fabulous!! I am with Cherie... your library must be quite awesome..
I am always surprised at how you are able to make the one page work!
How long does it take you to find the right page??
