Last one, promise.
That night she would not
Come back to the house - so we
Stayed with her there at
The sea's edge - waiting
And waiting - while the wind
Bent and cracked trees and
Huge unstoppable
Waves crashed down onto the dark
Rocks of Asgardstrand.

This is quite nice as far as it goes, and that's the only fault I can find with it...it stops too soon.

Have a thing for Munch, Cam?
Why did you promise this to be the last one? You may think of another tonight. I think they're great. Write as many as you please.
I like this one the best of the three. I remember sitting at the sea's edge late at night, many times. The sky seems clearest there - one of my favorite places to be, on any continent. (That's only a guess though, as sadly, I haven't left the shores of North America.)
It seemed to have less structure than "Ashes." (Even though it is still that "Haiku de renga" style, there seemed to be a rhyming scheme in "Ashes" whereas this one did not have that.) ((Maybe I'm seeing things))
A bit short, could have had a few more haikus attached to it, if you feel so inclined. But it depends on the effect you're going for. It was all past tense - it seems like a distant, beautiful, but isolated memory. And it fit the mood of the painting. So I don't see a need for more words.
Those are my thoughts. Good job.

The rationale behind haiku for me is that hopefully 'less is more' - although I appreciate that some people might think that less is actually less.
Yes, I do seem to have a bit of a Munch thing going on, which I'm not sure is entirely healthy. I've always found his stuff to be rather troubling which is probably the reason why I can find words for it.
You're right Caleb there is a rhyme in Ashes - 'despair' and 'hair' - but it was purely unintentional.
Cheers

I don't think "The Scream" needs anything but I confess that I had never really paid any attention to this picture before this poem.

This is not the best picture (a little small, methinks) but shows the gist of the picture.
