Nette Onclaud Poet Haiku

Noontime Showers-Cq

showers at noon
drip through our heels--
carving footprints

on leaf- whisked mud

              *

taking boots off
cleansed by soft dew--
we pause 'neath oaks

to learn rain's dance

Matthew Anish September 6, 2019 at 2:18 PM Fine short poems but American haiku are 5 7 5 so I don't know if I would call them haiku. Nice nature imagery in this work! Peace & Love Matthew Anish

Caren Krutsinger September 6, 2019 at 3:45 AM "carving footprints on leaf- whisked mud" - this is so whimsically written, and this part especially makes it come alive.
