Summer rain shower
How you caught me by surprise
So full of passion
***
Raindrop cannonballs
Pelt the gazebo above
Staccato drumbeats
***
This frenzied rhythm
Pouring out its very soul
Holding nothing back
***
“Come join me!” it cries
“Living wild and carefree!”
Each drop beckons me
***
As I get ready
The answer “Yes!” on my lips
The rain shower stops
***
Its soul has been spent
Only occasional drips
Slip from the tree’s leaves
***
Peace replaced passion
Sunlight blesses the wet world
With dew drop diamonds
***
Its quietness speaks
Drawing me into a peace
I cannot resist
One response to “Haiku: Caught in the Frenzied Dance of Summer Rain”
You are so brave. That’s what encourages me most about you…you feel it, you do it. Posting your art is “putting yourself out there”. Being vulnerable. It encourages all of us, it connects all of us, and inspires me!
