Arched doorway looking out towards La Giralda Cathedral, Seville, Spain
The view enchants us
anticipating delights
we venture further
This haiku was written for One Deep Breath's prompt "windows and doorways."

Magnificent! I have found myself drawing a sudden breath in as I read your haiku. A sense of excitement at what was to come. And then the picture finished loading and I saw the enchanting view! Fantastic!

Have you already left/arrived then? My goodness you're quick!
What a lovely view through the archway. I can't wait to see more of Spain! My friend Patti went last summer and loved it.
I hope you have a wonderful time!
