Tho childhood fantasies about flying horses are long gone, I can see the upside. I have 2 favorites to share before my own take on Pegasus.
(BTW, the [Menu] button atop the vertical black bar reveals the widgets.)
In response to Carpe Diem #825 Pegasus:
I have 2 favorites to share before my own take on Pegasus: Chèvrefeuille’s beautiful Hippocrene-inspired image and Haiku Plate Special’s charming reminder of the way I and so many others were introduced to Pegasus.

Tho childhood fantasies are long gone, I can be good-humored about practical matters.
Pegasus
Ever been shat on
by a bird? Be glad there are
no flying horses.

Perhaps the image credit requested by the Rijksmuseum refers to a likeness of Persephone on the other side of a coin? Perhaps some copy-then-tweak editing did not go far enough? A magic spring with water that ensures complete editing would be a worthy companion to Hippocrene.

Haha! Yes, your haiku rules (I say this as I duck!). The Haiku Plate Special doesn’t follow the 5-7-5 rule you’re always pushing….what gives?

Hey, respect (not worship) for 5-7-5! I don’t worship anything. Not even sweet potato fries.

Come to think of it, the 3-5-3 form U mentioned long ago would work well here.

Yeah, that would work! And who said you ever “worshipped” the 5-7-5 rule? You were always correcting those who missed it; that’s all 😉
