Terry, at http://soupgirls.typepad.com/knittingtheblues/2008/07/not-haiku-haika.html started a Haikai - sort of a poetry game. And Lucia http://rhymeswithfuchsia.blogspot.com/ passed it on to me.
Steam heated
Lightning splits dark skies
Dramatic summer storms.
Winds howl through the leaves
Bird clutching branches tight.
Clouds dance in circles
Clean laundry snaps on the line
Warm rain falls in sheets
Blue skies brighten the day
Time to head to the beach
Sparkling blue-green wave
Zips me shoreward at top speed
The world's best thrill ride
Except for that night
with Bacchus in the woods

ReplyDeleteThe leaves that tickled
Green and cool against our skin
Oh to be there now.
HAHAHAHAHA! Roxie, you are a girl after my own heart!
ReplyDeleteI know which verse you wrote!
ReplyDeleteI'll pass on this one although I'd love to do it. I'm so so far behind on everything in my life right now except grandson snuggling.
