John Singer Sargent, White Dresses (1911) |
battle? No – white dresses in
peace on parched grass...

Note
When I first glimpsed this painting, my initial flash was that it represented an after-battle scene – bodies strewn on the ground, limbs sticking up.
The first real haiku I've written in a while ... with that sudden flash of recognition in the second half.
