small as a poppy
hanging onto the slopes I
too reach for the sun

craggy mountain thrust
to the sky – earth’s upheaval
ever changing world

Susi’s Challenge: Please create one senryu and one haiku to accompany this image prompt. Remember that traditional American haikus and senryus are three lines presented in a 5-7-5 syllabic pattern. The haiku describes nature or a season, and the senryu focuses on human nature and emotions.
