purple gold

purple gold
payday on Friday
migrants’ plainsong

a wealth of clusters
ripe from the sun's strength
purple gold

The haiku, you know it with the juxtaposition on the end with PURPLE GOLD of a grape, could even be raisen LOL. The reader will decide what you already know. It is a good haiku. I've had over a thousand published so I know a good haiku when I read one and yours is very well crafted. Also, in the genre the first line of a haiku/senryu/ or tanka is always the title of the poem. Robert Henry Poulin

Hilarious! Re: second glance (checking the time you posted). Wait another 30 minutes, maybe the hakim will be stirring. As it is, I’m 7 years late.
