When turning into silhouette,
forest solemnly stretches itself

シルエットに変わるとき森はおおっと背を伸ばす

Judge's comment: Hoo has developed a system of new language called Earth Language. , and this haiga is made with its symbols. The author used black for the silhouette. It is my personal taste but I rather avoid using black. The color black seems to refuse interesting interaction with other colors. Very dark green or purple would have been better.
