I Quote, You 'Ku - Day 15

"You can't depend on your eyes when your imagination is out of focus."

 ~Mark Twain

Your challenge is to write a haiku or tanka (or choose one of your previously published works) that has a connection with the themes/feelings/images of the above quote, without just restating what has appeared in the text, to create a haibun. Play around with it and see what you come up with. Enjoy!

    when you think you see
    turn instead to your mind's eye
    and know you were blind
