How it works: 

Each Thursday KL Caley posts a photo, and participants post their response by the following Tuesday.  There is no word limit and no style requirements, except that your post must take inspiration from the image and/or the prompt word given in the title of the post.

Since I've been a little busy and distracted, my entry today is a haiku.

Innundation

Green man preserve us!

Streams long lost to open air

Breaking through the wall?

 

Your turn next!
