THIS PHOTO WAS TAKEN BY MY HUSBAND - WE WENT FOR AN AFTERNOON WALK AND THE SUN WAS JUST PEEPING THROUGH THE CLOUDS ON A STORMY SUMMER'S DAY. I ADORE THE PHOTO HE TOOK

dull storm clouds gather dappled rays caress each wave autumnal breeze blows 10-28-17

This is spectacular Jan! What a stupendous write my friend! It's as if the picture was created just for your poem! I would be inspired by that picture as well! I do love a good storm poem, they are fascinating, and I love to see how other people write about storms! Especially when the sun trickles through the clouds! Such a grand piece, I loved each line of your tender Haiku! Great Work!!

Wow...I can imagine this artistic photo as a wall mural. Excellent haiku and I see why this beautiful photo is a favorite Jan. I will have to find out how you are posting your own photos. I have only learned how to post photos I get off the net. Email me when you have some time. Thanks, Connie : )

it's amazing to me that you can take a walk from where you live and see that scene - lucky you! the photo is gorgeous and your poem does it justice, jan...

The area where this was taken is about 7 miles from home, we drive there and then go for a walk. We tend to walk a great deal as it is so so beautiful here and the scenery is always changing especially at the coast and often we can be out walking after midnight and we take our torches with us as the streetlights go out at 1am:-) hugs jan xx

Thanks so much John I will tell him, the picture was just taken with his mobile phone - its amazing how far technology has come as my own phone is just able to make calls and send texts but i don't hanker after a smart phone:-) hugs jan xx

Thanks Gary it looks like moonlight but the sun was just peeping through making a silvery light on the sea and it was very beautiful:-) I'm not sure if the final line makes it a 'real haiku' but i'm happy with the first 2 lines:-)hugs jan xx
