spring paints our pleasure
loud raspberry, regal purple,
bubble gum pink, pop art
all in one reckless flash
defies our winter vision

writing a series
of mechanical haiku
dry as equations
no pyrotechnics dazzle
my darkling inspiration

dream of hot pursuit
fading on the morning light
a flock of ravens
cawing on the balcony
at a middle-aged scarecrow

B...although not Haiku by definition, the series of suggestions fit the vibe of a Haiku and Senryu blending..enjoyed the view.  welcome to the bluezone

Hi, Bastet and just wanted to compliment you on the splendid writing.
Be aware, however, that haiku is
3 lines: 5 syllables, 7 syllables, 5 syllables.
Still, your 5 line poems show considerable talent!

Gorgeous, crystal clarity!

Lovely work, as for the structure, I suppose it has it's place,
if you really want to go there.

Welcome welcome!!!  I look forward to reading your poetry.

Yes, I agree with all the above comments. Your poems are a delight to read. In this one you paint pictures with words. I can see the whole scene with the weather changing. Thank you, Sunshine. It's a great way to start the day.

I love this, Bastet- am I wrong in assuming you were writing `about` Haiku, not intentionally `in` the form? That is the way it strikes me.. how Spring`s abundant profusion cannot be corraled into such a tight form.. sublime, as always.

Thank you Amaryllis. You are quite right. It is not haiku but tanka (5-7-5-7-7). Glad you liked it.
