Daily writing prompt (April 6, 2019)

I have always loved old buildings. Toulouse, my hometown, has many of them.

It is nicknamed "The Pink City" because of its red-pink clay bricks and tiles. Those bricks were introduced by the Romans in the 1st century AD.

I took the shot below during my latest trip. The light was slightly hazy, which helped make the scene mesmerizing.

Haiku #15

Shadows on the wall,
a funambulistic dawn 
and a mirthful sun!

glows with amber light by night.
Quiet! Now it sleeps.

I'm a bot. I detect haiku.

Thanks haikubot!

A lovely haiku! Thank you!

Thank you. I’m not much of a poet or “haikuist” but it was fun to try.

Well, proof is that you actually are. ;-)

Beautiful picture and haiku.

Your English is impeccable if you are not a native speaker?

I think for some reason an artist would not normally publicly proclaim their work mesmerising; probably as this would be the description provided by the audience and critic.

However as you found the work mesmerising why not use it as a description of your reaction and relay that to the audience as this is both a written and visual form of art.

I am looking forward to seeing your next posts.

Thank you! I am bilingual.

I didn't describe my work as mesmerizing. LOL - I said that I found the scene mesmerizing. These are two (very) different things.

As far as your next paragraph is concerned, I'm not sure I follow you. If you could rephrase that, it would be helpful.
