"The goal of this new feature is as follows:
You may choose a piece of art, that can be a painting, a sculpture, a photo or something else made by for example Vincent Van Gogh, but it also can be an art-piece made by yourself. maybe you are a painter or a photographer. You may also use a piece of art which you have made especially for this feature.
Your used artwork must be the inspiration for your haiku. So for this new feature you may use for example a sculpture which you have made yourself, but there has to be a classical or non-classical haiku inspired on the art-work in your post. For this feature I will not give a prompt, you can decide for yourself which prompt or theme you will use. Feel free and share also your own art-work as I will do myself in this first episode.
This new feature will be published once in a month, so this first episode runs to October 11th at noon (CET)."
