Notes About The Poem

written July 2, 2023

Rafting

rafting down river
    beneath blue sky canopy --
         songs of nature play

riding the rapids
     tossed up and down to and fro --
          summer crescendo

Hi Kim! Wonderful imagery in your "bouncy" haiku! Great sense of motion! Terrific theme choice for a very innovative summer haiku! Congrats and high fives. Going to find a towel to dry off now! Blessings. PS - wonderful to have you back in the soup surfing the poetic waves!
