Days have been warmer this week. Temperatures in the low 70's which I do not care for at this time of year. I like things to be seasonable.
Rainy today... and unseasonably warmer weather.
Contrary Willed
Struggling to walk against this windy rain,
My wild umbrella drives me back again.

Evening Lantern
Lighted still, in all this rain,
the lantern lights
my dripping window pane.

On Izumo Cliff
Arching above the wild and gloomy sea,
Far out to Sado Isle---The galaxy.

I hope you enjoyed the haiku this week as much as I enjoy posting them.

ReplyDeleteOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I love the new look here, Annie. Rain and unseasonable warm here too, sigh.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the Haiku. Pretty pictures.
ReplyDeleteRainy down our way too with the unseasonable heat but that's 'cause we got that TS Eta heading our way. I'm enjoying the rain, but this oppressive heat can leave now. :)
I do enjoy them. I love how you find those interesting little "poems" and share them with us. I remember learning to write them in English class, but never thought much about them until I started seeing them here on your posts. They challenge my old brain again. I love it!
