30-Day Challenge: Poem #26

April 26, 2011

spring sky
embraces the blue
well met
then there was laughter
and after sun rain

    NaPoWriMo was a blur! I’m glad you linked it in the study because I believe I missed it. Beautiful poem. 🙂

    Hi Sweepy –

    I love it when the clear blue sky drop a quick dump of rain. Amazing how that works out. 🙂

    We had the exact same sky this morning, the only difference was that it is SUMMER… as of today!

    Well, here in London the weather is schizophrenic. It can change in a couple of minutes, or we can have rain and sunshine at the same time. This is perfectly captured with the words “sun rain”…

    I love it! “Well met” describing the sky embracing the blue. So simple yet so full of imagery.
    Thanks for sharing, I always enjoy your posts 🙂

    This describes our day in reverse. We had after rain sun, after sun rain …….and it’s midsummers day.

    I absolutely love how you frame this poem with “well met” in the middle of it. May just be my interpretation, but it makes me feel like everything comes together. Beautiful, Adriene! Thank you! =)

    Haiku is a great poetry art and hard to master. You certainly have done so here. Love your highly visual “and after sun rain”. Good luck with the poetry challenge.
