looking up at sky billowing clouds steal the show all else disappear from high atop a grassy mound this early spring show of clouds kissing sienna clouds circles seeing green beneath our feet seeking dew drenched buds * Entry for Nathan D. Haiku 101 contest

Aww clouds kissing ... how sweet. With their abstract shapes you can almost make them do anything you want. Nice haiku collage. Very summery feeling to me.

Iris, I see I am not alone in this reaction! I try to ink my own feelings before reading others, extending my true feelings, fun to see others agree! jimbo

Hi Iris! Sure! I can tell you the 2nd haiku, last line, personifies clouds kissing, for me, this sparks Images that transcend time, allows the reader to escape the sometimes harsh reality of everyday toils and guides one towards the beauty & possibilities surrounding us! In other words, your poem has healing benefits, for me!
