Haiku - comfort

hard ground becomes
muddy transformation
as rain seeps

slow drip relief
soothes weary limbs
midsummer rain

gently swayed
in the birdhouse
wind gust lullaby

I love the nature images in all these haiku -- and the wonderful feeling they evoke. I also love the whole idea of transformation. Well-done and very beautiful!

I love the feeling of that last one... wind gust lullaby ... yes.

I love your third haiku, beautiful.

Marcia (MeeAugraphie) said...

The third is fascinating, but they all evoke feeling.

Regina said...

Oh, strauss, these were just lovely. I liked the gusty lulluaby as well! :)

Rae Trigg said...

Beautiful. I especially liked the third haiku, but they all painted lovely pictures.

jem said...

The last one is beautiful, and its nice to think of comfort being offered to other creatures as well as us.

Hi, I'm back...finally. Sorry it's been so long. Work has been a problem so I am taking a haitus. This was a really interesting post. From where i am at this is just awesome because it's about rain. So dry here. I like the third one the best as well.

I hope you will come back and see what I have done with my blog. I am writing poetry again, although I'm a bit rusty.

wanted you to knmow my blog moved due to some unfortunate circumstances, but I have not stopped writing. For an invite I will need an email address. If you are not comfortable with this that's cool, but it's the only way to keep it private between people I trust online and keep out stalkers and such. Appreciate your support over the years and keep blogging.

The flow of nature and stillness as a portrait shaded melancholy grey, where silence is only broken by the sound of raindrops pattering the ground. You capture the spirit of haiku with a sense of graceful ambiance. Beautifully written and expressed.
