tepid rain shower
mingling with warm pool ripples
sun sparkles on skin
tepid rain shower
releases petrichor scent
dusty afternoon
mingling with warm pool ripples
not a breath of breeze
early leaf fall floats
sun sparkles on skin
emerging from deep water
sudden splash of light

My response to Carpe Diem #1705 enjoyment … a modern summer kigo
Today we have some Vivaldi with our challenge, which was a lovely background as I wrote my fusion haiku and troiku. The theme is ‘enjoyment’ and the haiku we are using to create a new fusion haiku are by Jane Reichhold – making this a Crossroads episode:
outdoor shower
bathed in sun colors
of hot water
slipping into the pool
naked divides the night
sun-warmed waters

I like the feeling, that mid summer heaviness of heat – and heated water, and the slow tumble of the few leaves that lose their muster and succumb …
you’ve captured that essence really well Kim 🙂 in your fusion and troiku
(and just to be clear – the series is great, but I don’t actually like dipping into tepid pool/stream/lake water – LOL)

Thank you, Pat. I haven’t dipped in any water in years, but I might go paddling with my grandson this weekend 😉
