~Post Meridian Deluge~ ~*~ sunshine on shoulders reflections cast on water tans my skin and soul ~*~ humid summer breeze hazy late afternoon sky thunder head clouds build ~*~ storms rise in day's heat thunder echoes in distance cloud bursts drench parched earth ~*~ warm rain falls in waves torrent creates sudden streams children run barefoot ~*~ clouds break and open sunbeams finger thru dark mist rainbows arch in sky ~*~ Mother Nature's fury Mother Nature's gifts of grace Mother Nature's calm ~*~  |

These are fantastic! I love the simple yet complex form of these. Especially enjoyed the second one, and a tan is always great! |

"storms rise in day's heat thunder echoes in distance cloud bursts drench parched earth" "...children run barefoot" what a great collection! i'd say i'm going to miss summer, but i lived in Vegas and now i've moved to Phoenix, so the weather of summer is not as beautiful as you describe it. 'round her, it's rather routine (sun, heat, sun, heat). but these Haikus paint a delightful picture, and i'm very happy to see such an overwhelming number of responses to the challenge from just YOU!!  outstanding work, as always JM. much love to ya! Everyone's got their demons. We all got somethin' to atone for. |

Absolutely beautiful and wonderful and vivid works here...and I think Balladeer is right and there's nothing you can't do extremely well, my friend. *Krista Knutson* "Wheresoever you go, go with all your heart." -Confucious |

I found that amazing picture and knew I had to write about it in some way.

"clouds break and open sunbeams finger thru dark mist rainbows arch in sky" All have beautiful imagery Janet Marie, but if I try to pick a favorite (though you make it nearly impossible girl!), I choose this lovely haiku above. No, the first one, no ... the third one ... doh! I love them all!!! Best wishes, /Kit |

Janet Marie, This is stunning, some would say poetry can be addictive, well if so, I'm addicted to yours! Anyone who can create these kind of feelings has a gift and you do. I know I appreciate this, it lifts me and it means something. Thank you. Kathleen |
