sweeping the porch
bright prints of raindrops
followed by splashes
Jane Reichhold
Sweeping arms of trees
Patches of sunlight on ground
Sparrows hop around
Reading newspaper
Under the deck chair’s sun sail
The rain wakes me up
The porch has been swept
The garden is overgrown
Resting on the broom
Following the clouds
To laugh about their stories
Tea as green as grass
After the sweeping
Dust settles in deep silence
Raindrops form craters

Nicely done!
What a lovely series this is! I feel like I've spent a peaceful afternoon with you.
ReplyDeleteI'd hate to fall asleep, only to be awakened by raindrops!

ReplyDeleteLove your haiku and your tea pot. I would love to have a tea pot like that. :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks! For Germany the teapot isn't very special as one very common company sold it. There is something special, however. The text on the teapot is the same as my background picture - 永和九年 ... - as I like this text from 354 AD very much.
DeleteCraters. Tiny raindrops can create gigantic craters. Awesome!
