waiting for you

It was the last rains..as it poured down wetting the leaves, the raindrops find this beautiful young leaf among others.. but it's time to say goodbye! :( 
The leaf waits eagerly to meet her beloved when cycle of season brings him back, this time she is just not as young! ;)

last mystical rain
fondly pecking the young leaves
romance slowly buds

clouds descend mountain
silent valley with hush leaves
air carries monks’ chants

like the pale river
waits to glow with summer breeze
she yearned for his kiss

when its snow, she’s grown,
hear the sparrows’ sing love songs
she gazes at blue sky


The task was to use the highlighted words, without breaking the order, each in a line and writing haiku (s).

      Thank you :) now it sounds more like a poem with 5-7-5 syllable stanzas, I hope the haiku feel isn't lost :) :D

PC: Mi Young Lee …and when the cassette began to rewind - I looked at what I earned and lost on my way. The reel showed a vibrant mosaic of colours; a patch of happy as well as bad times. No turns, no ups, nor downs but straight, I assessed the path of my emotional life. All the grouch seems useless now, time had been kind and always on my side. With every dark patch it offered a light zone, And all through with love and support of the own… In response to Susie's "Bits of imagination" at IGWRT .

This week at Imaginary garden with real toads, poets frame queries in "Fashion me a poem", using not more than 100 words, in the style of Emily Dickinson's 'Answer July' Here's one on the dilemma on which is the best phase of life - past, present or future:  PC: www.google.co.in Answer tomorrow -  What do you hold - Where lies my smile - Which way to memory? Sighed tomorrow - Are you bold - Can you laugh every while - Yester is remembrance already! I am gone - said yesterday - What did I teach - Where is the dream - Do you wish to deem - What is it today? Frowns today – Is past the leisure I had – Is future good or bad – How many more of me(s) to add? Exclaimed – life explained – Beautiful was yester – Upcoming not to pester – Today a daily fad! Live everyday – taught experience PC: www.google.co.in
