thunder rocks n rolls
to the beat of pounding rain
spring debuts its band
This haiku was inspired by the rainy Florida days that harken the end of our beautiful winter weather. Colleen’s choose your own words Tanka Tuesday Challenge and this beautiful photo (courtesy of Helene’s What Do You See Challenge) complemented my thoughts perfectly. Thanks!
trick or treat, she said
a silly game to pass time
but the trick felt real
It’s Tanka Tuesday Synonyms only day!
And today’s words (which we can’t use) are PLAY and HOBBY. I tried to adhere to the idea in both words (trick or treat, game, pass time) and in theme (her hobby was to play with people). Thanks Colleen. Not sure the theme fits in the traditional rules but t’was fun!
drops float in the air
a prism of light and color
held in a moment
before they swim to the earth
bathing the colors of spring
Thanks for the inspiration to Ronovan Write’s Haiku Challenge (float/swim) and Colleen’s Poet’s Choice Tanka Tuesday Challenge
