Haiga - Summer

hot June eventide...


          sweltering clouds perspire - drip...


                    rain to sate the earth

Perfect haiku. You were talking about my neighborhood, weren't you?

Pretty unique thought, Greg, "clouds perspiring in the heat". Very original!

Thanks so much, Daniel ... I try very hard to tap into my inner child ... I'm pretty immature, so it's not much of a stretch for me, lol! Blessings, my friend! :-)

Your imagery is indeed satisfying, Gregory...like the rain, making the earth pleasantly contented! (I wonder how the judge can see the link between picture and poem, since I believe that, unlike the reader, he can't see the accompanying picture!) Best regards // paul

No, you can NOT see photos while judging, but by labeling as "haiga" the judge can find it after. I just love to post photos with all my poems ... it sets a mood and puts a "frame" on the writing. Blessings and thanks, My Friend! :-)
