flamenco dancer the fire inside her dress Debbie Strange A beautiful meeting of image and haiku, full of movement, colour and autumn fire 🔥 You can read the full Autumn ’26 Edition below #haiga #Autumn #flamenco
A haiga by Debbie Strange. Two vivid red autumn leaves are clipped to a line with a wooden peg, suggesting the skirt of a flamenco dancer. The haiku reads: “flamenco dancer / the fire inside / her dress.”
