I love art so I just had to share this challenge from the Getty Museum –
“Feeling poetic? Write a haiku inspired by this painting and share it in the comments below.”

Caspar David Friedrich, born #onthisday in 1774, was part of the German Romantic movement; his deeply personal and introspective vision addressed Christian themes through analogies based on the cycles of nature. “A Walk at Dusk” was among a small group of works Friedrich completed before he suffered a debilitating stroke in 1835. The painting embodies both the melancholy he experienced during this period and the consolation he found in the Christian faith.
