After the rain (troiku)

after the rain
running and skipping
on the wet ground

after the rain
birds know the meaning
pot holes are baths

running and skipping
dreams of a rainbow –then,
cries with delight

on the wet ground
steps on his image – splash!
puzzled raised head

What a delight finding this opportunity writing to not just one, nor two but three prompts today!
The Secret Keeper with these 5 words: MEANING | RAISE | CRY | DREAM | GROUND
Haiku Horizons with “puzzle”
And a new meme I discovered today, Tuesday at Ten with the word “Step”

Troiku is a new form of Haiku created by Chèvrefeuille at Carpe Diem Haiku Diem where you are welcome to write to his daily meme.

sensual clouds (haiga)

curls and swirls,
seductive and flirting
with a rainbow

I is for Iris (Blogging from a to z challenge)

suckling nectar
lazily
bee on an iris

bee on an iris
quenched – embraces
rainbow of colours

rainbow of colours
giggling children searching
pot of gold

tagging rainbows (haiga – haibun)

It was an amazing weekend, filled with songs and love. She was returning from her retreat and sat on the top deck of the bus right in front. She was in the perfect place to take photos of the sky changing from sunlight to sundown. The clouds were getting darker and the bus heading towards the rain and then she saw a miracle and continued chasing nature’s wonder.

Fairy-tale arches (Tan Renga)

stroked by the lightning
delicate peaks of sand dunes
-silence before the storm (Ese)

ear piercing booms subside
pastel arch clings to the sky (Tournesol)
