This week's prompt at the Write Tribe is Haiku:
We will use a “Kigo” as our prompt. And since it’s the rainy season (at least here in India!) what better prompt can there be! So write a Haiku, with some element of the Rains in it. Your “Kigo” can be anything, clouds, raindrops, frogs, paper boats …. Let your imagination soar!
Here's one I wrote sometime ago so sharing again
And some new ones

Here's one I wrote sometime ago so sharing again
Raindrops splashing down
Creating puddles of fun
Children jumping in
Nectar from Heaven
Flowers reaching for the sky
Riot of colours
Wet pitter-patter
Face looking skyward refreshed
Thirsty earth relieved
Warm Regards
Wow Suzy ! You managed to pen so many in a day !
ReplyDeleteLoved all of them ! Specially the Nectar from Heaven !
Thanks Ruchira. Glad you liked them. Haiku is so much fun.
DeleteAmazing haikus, Suzy.
ReplyDeleteI haven't got the hang of it yet :(
Thanks Sulekkha. Haiku is quite easy though it looks tough. Keep reading a few and you'll get the hang of it.
DeleteI love the riot of colours line. Just a wonderful phrase for seven colour spectrum :)
ReplyDeleteRicha
Thanks Richa. That line can be interpreted in many ways. Let's see if we get some different views.

ReplyDeleteThanks Roshni - haiku was my first attempt at poetry - seemed easy enough to make sense in 3 lines. btw your haiku was great too and for a first attempt it was brilliant.
DeleteSuzy, these are all so good I can't even begin to pick which one I like best!! Brilliant!

Thanks Kathy - glad you liked them all. My favourite is the first one - jumping into puddles under the rain brings so much joy - unleashing the inner child.
