Droplets of Desire

petals of desire

nestled in silver droplets

aftermath of rain

silver beads

drip with languid ease

on blossoms

 a shimmer

of colours in orgasm

splendour of nature

Haiku My Heart: Raindrops

15 Friday May 2015

Posted by readinpleasure in Carpe Diem, Challenges, Haiku, Haiku My Heart, Poetry

≈ 43 Comments

Tags

basil, blooms, heat, Joan Halifax, May, Nature, praises, rain, Scorched earth

Done for Carpe Diem Haiku Shuukan. And also for Recuerda Mi Corazon. 

The emphasis is on A in G R A C E (enlarge your capacity of compassion) as defined by Joan Halifax, a Zen Buddhist, with greater emphasis on “Attaining to Self Other.” Much similar to the Christian JOY, acronym for Jesus first, Others next, Yourself at last.

Raindrops

 first raindrops

this month of May

scorched earth cools

2

raindrops

just a drop

basil blooms

3

cheerless morn

even the birds

chirp in praises
