Welcome rainclouds break
Sun-parched soil with moisture quenched
Summer shower sweet

A Steadfast Haiku
Static – unchanging
Like the Rock of Gibraltar
I am standing firm

drifting aimlessly
with no true destination

Fresh tags of spraypaint climbing

Like tiny stitches
A friendly smile and kind word
Mends heart-broken rends

Promise
Spring’s clustered blossom
Vivid pink scenting the air
Promise of sweet fruit

Colleen’s challenge is to write in a specific form and she has cited haiku and senryu as the week’s choice. She notes: “The current standards for creating Haiku in English suggest a form with three lines and syllables of 3/5/3 (11 syllables). Even the more abbreviated haiku version with three lines and syllables of 2/3/2 (7 syllables) is now thought of more favorably than the traditional 5/7/5 format.” I have therefore gone with the abbreviated seven syllable form.
