Being Symmetrical seen in Perspective - a Haibun

Image: A Symmetrical Image
seen in Perspective (here)

symmetrical
symmetrical if it has at least 
one line of symmetry, i.e. it 
can be divided in such a way 
that its two halves perfectly 
match each other
perspective
drawing of parallel lines as 
converging in order to give the 
illusion of depth and distance

The Prose
A beautiful image that embodies
both a classic example of being
symmetrical with its own reflection
in the water. It simultaneously is
represented in perspective to accord
depth and distance.

Awareness of both principles can
render an artistic impression most
eloquently as seen here

The Haiku
brought back to those times
of the first lessons in art
of those bygone days

  1. The classic excellence of this world must be protected and available for all. And people need take the responsibility to understand and treasure it. This world is folding in upon itself because it is abandoning its culture and has become hollow. I really like the haiku HankI

  9. Well explained - symmetry and perspective!
    Your haiku is apt for the art depicted here and the art lessons of the bygone days.
