Mele Melee!

Wind rushes downhill
Tearing into the orchard
Apples ev'rywhere!

Such a vivid picture you paint with this haiku! Along with that rush of wind, we can feel it and are there! Excellent! Love, Shar

The mood of this haiku changes for me; it's a compex mix of storm and cheer. Thanks.

Two weekend ago, we were in the foothills, in an area called Apple Hill. And yes....the wind blew the apples off the trees, and there were apples ev'rywhere!! But it sure did smell good! Love your haiku, Nigel!! A nice fall feeling to it! ~ Carrie

As you may have noticed, haiku is one of my favorite forms of poetry. Wind is one of my favorite elements (second only to rain), and this haiku describes it so well. I love the image of "apples ev'rywhere"!
