This week Susi Bock posted an image by NIR HIMI through Unasplash.com on her blog, I Write Her, to inspire readers to write a haiku and a senryu. The image is of dead trees in a dry desert landscape in Sossusvlei, Namibia. The earth-toned colors of brown, orange, and tan are layered across the landscape.
