Hi Len! I am so appreciative of your congratulations. Thank you!!! :D! So delighted you both saw and heard the visual and auditory elements of this haiku! I am always amazed at what can be packed into seventeen syllables and the effect that can be achieved! The more I work with haiku, the more I appreciate its innate,, intricate beauty.

Thank you so much Valsa. We have had a long string of windy days that inspired this haiku. While I'm not particularly fond of the cold, the clouds have provided many moments of playful fun watching them scurry across the sky! Hope you have a wonderful weekend! Blessings to you my friend.

Thank you so much Alexis! I wanted to capture that flowing spirit of the wind playing with the clouds. And it was fun to put that effort into the brevity of the haiku where every word counts. So glad you liked it. Blessings to you!

Seems my earlier comment got mixed up with Susan Ashley’s so I deleted it on her request. Great write, Sam, metaphorically, likening clouds to thoughts and murmurs to our conscience, we may, if we choose exhale our pure, vibrant intent into the vast void. Congrats on POTD

Hi Connie! I am so glad that you enjoyed my "windy" haiku especially since you are so familiar with the trade winds that are so present in Hawaii! When I was in Hawaii many years ago I remember they always carried the perfume of the flowers and the sea. A fragrance I will never forget. It was such fun to try and capture the playfulness of the clouds on a windy spring day! The POTD was such a delightful surprise. I'm grateful for the honor and so grateful for your visit - what a blessing! Sending you many blessings on trade winds of joy my friend!

Dear Mala, thank you for your note and congratulations. You always raise my spirits especially on a cloudy, windy day! We have had a string of grey May days but the clouds have been amazing as they scoot across the sky - such a source of inspiration - constantly on the move! Thank you for affirming my efforts to articulate that movement and flow! Blessings to you dear friend!
