NaPoWriMo Day 13: Blessing, The Jungle, Origins

Hi Poemancers! (That's you!) Here's your prompt to start the week off:

Today’s Prompt

Write a haiku or haiku series incorporating the concepts of Blessing, The Jungle, and Origins.

I love haiku, and also think the form is woefully misunderstood in the English-language canon. (Your poem does not need to be 17 syllables!) Haiku's relative density of imagery could allow these three cards to all appear in one tercet... but write as many haiku as you feel like today.

Prompts and paintings:

Blessing

Get to the root of something.
