Rural Roads: an afternoon's crop of photos and haiku
hard prairie winds
pull at the barn windows,
hawk overhead
gopher tracks in spring,
crossing from mud to creek,
leave dirt clods behind
white tree flowers
fast clouds, high winds:
snow on the road
the sky's more empty
without a falcon soaring
despite these clouds
trees as tall as barns
host swallow strings—
nesting time has come

A wonderful string of Haiku to match the photos. Thanks, Art. To me the words increase the sensuousness of each image, such that we not only see but also smell and hear as well.
Thanks.
I find myself wanting more and more to publish photos and poems together. It's two different ways of capturing the same moment, the same scene, place and time, etc. Together they do synergize into something more, just as you say.
