Mi,when I participated in the Haiku Challenge last year, little did I imagine I’d fall in love with this pretty form of verse. I attempted different forms of haiku during that month and thus began a habit of writing haiku for my friends on a regular basis. I even communicate by haiku with Vidur sometimes. But no, we don’t want to publish those here eh?
Today my haiku is for the prompt “rain”. It is raining cats and dogs – why, I’d say it is raining the entire zoo.
As usual, I couldn’t stop with one. So I am raining haiku
Haiku
Dark clouds bring sad news
My tears mingle with raindrops
Grey skies cry with me
Lone road, flooded street
Bleak days ahead. Unsure steps.
Heart slips in puddle
Too sad, eh? Here we go, then!
Children laugh and shout
Joyous sounds, a crescendo
Drown thunder and rain
Myriad raindrops
Refreshing cloudburst of joy
Heart sings with birdsong
Raindrops drizzle love
Parched earth awakes, flowerbuds bloom
A garden is born
Cool rain, warm sunshine
Bright blue sky, rainbow, angels
Sprinkling happiness
Thirsty fields rejoice
As summer showers embrace
earth smiles graciously
Showers of kindness
Soothing warmth Awakens soul
A new beginning
What a joy to write haiku!
P.S.: I have moved Coffee With Mi from http://devividya.blogspot.com to http://mi.vidyasury.com
Do you like the new place?

Aren’t haiku addictive? (recently came to know haiku has no plural :D) Each one of the haiku gave a different and yet picturesque imagery of monsoons….and I want a piece of that haiku conversation you have with vidur 🙂
Richa
Oh, totally addictive, Richa. As soon as I read your comment I quietly knocked off the “s” from the haiku 😀 But i read that it can be with or without an s. Without sounds better to me.
Hehehe…haiku conversations with Vidur. I’ll have to get a written agreement! Hugs!
Brilliant.
I want more. yes Vi!
Thank you, Preetilata. I feel your love. 🙂 Yes, there’ll be more. Lots more.
The new look is good. It now looks like a section of your main blog. I like it. 🙂
Haven’t developed that level of intimacy with Haiku yet. Forget intimacy, we’re not even friends yet. Mere recent acquaintances. So will refrain on commenting on those lines! 😛
Chicky, this is a subdomain of the main blog 😀 I was breaking my head over templates, then thought, why not use the same?
Haiku – I find I don’t need to analyze it to enjoy it. 😀 Just write, is my policy. And the editing will follow! Thanks for being here, Chicky.
So beautiful Vidya! As only you can write these words that paint amazing imagery.
Love the new header…and coffee…ahhh anytime 😉
Much Love,
Z~
Zeenat! Come here….(((((((hugs))))))) I am so happy to see you here! Yes, coffee anytime for me, too! That header rocks because of my friend!
I do! Cheers! Kaarina
And I love you right back! 😀 Just read your latest post – beautiful as always. Hugs, Kaarina. And now, allow me to wallow in the happiness of our meeting, all over again!
Beautiful Vidya! Always love your Haiku poems. The new site is great!! Looking forward to more from here.
Thank you, dearest Cathy! Hugs! I am so excited too!
I like the idea of having coffee with you 🙂
Me too, Evelyn! 🙂 Come to India!
Sadly, not likely or possible this year due to family commitments and other travel plans in the pipeline.
Why not have the coffee in Singapore, instead?
It is a beautiful idea. And now that you have planted the seed, I am going to watch it grow and make it happen. I will see you in Singapore, Evelyn. 😀 Hugs!
Well done! 😀 Have never tried writing Haiku myself, but, you’ve given me some inspiration to try it. Very enjoyable.
What a little wordsmith you are Vidya. And love the look of your site. Kudos to you.

A garden is born**

Love you more than red tulips. Xx
