on waves rising
I will sing
to your dawn

Haiku My Heart: Melody

Haiku for Recuerda Mi Corazon

During this time of the year, the weather in my country becomes cloudy and moody, with little or no rain but persistent drizzle, light or heavy depending on its whim. Popular culture has it that as this is the festival time of the Ga people of Greater Accra region, this weather (stretching from July through August and early September) brings in lots of fish, particularly herrings to enable the Ga people celebrate their festival, Homowo in style. (the soup accompaniment to the traditional food for the festival is prepared using lots of fish)

Anyway, today, there’s been some sunshine peeping through to dispel the gloom and I tell you, the birds are even happy, chirping louder. 🙂

Melody

sliver of rays

through moody clouds

the birds sing

Haiku Heights Prompt: Symphony

Choir, Melody, Symphony

Day Thirteen (13) of the September Haiku Heights Challenge and the prompt is Symphony. I’ve gone out of the box again, but this time not too out of it, if you consider that my humble offering is actually analogous to the prompt. 🙂 So, without much ado, here we go:

Symphony

Sweet Celestial Choir

Echoes soft chimes in my heart

My soul is nourished
