HAIKU #WORDSMATTER
When it rains I laugh
Raindrops cleanse my aching heart
When it rains I cry.
When it rains I smile
Thinking of promises made
Under the umbrella.
Heavenly showers
Wash away all dirt and grime
Minds need cleaning too.
Nature loves mankind
We all must reciprocate
It’s time to give back.
Bring back my childhood
Puddles, gum boots and paper boats
Playing in the rain.
I chased the rainbow
Looking for the pot of gold
Made up of wishes.
When it rains I dream
Of a pure and simple world
Devoid of malaise.

You do haikus so well Sulekha. Loved the various emotions connected to rains. Amen to that last wish, of a pure and simple world.
Tullika, I am learning to write proper haikus. Love the 5,7,5 syllables pattern. Thanks a ton for your lovely comment.
Rains invoke a myriad of emotions in us, don’t they? 🙂
Oh yes! Some bittersweet and beautiful emotions.
Nice Haikus and couldnt stop myself from reading all. You are a pro in them as you are able to express a myraid of emotions
Thanks a ton. Like I said before, I am still learning the intricate art of penning haikus.
Rain makes us long for wonderful things. I feel like rain cleanses everything around us, including our mind. Beautiful Haikus. I wrote a Haibun for the prompt.
Thanks a ton for your lovely comment. Loved your Haibun. Must learn the technique of writing them.
The moment we get to breathe in the fresh air right after it stops raining in this busy city life is truly a bliss! Loved reading beautiful Haikus.
Keerthi, thanks for your lovely comment.
Haiku has a magic of its own and when you add the rains, it is really beautiful!
Lovely! I particularly liked this one : Puddles, gum boots and paper boats
What a lovely one and the imagery was so vivid. Loved your Haiku, Sulekha. 🙂
Such simple words, but the meaning that they convey is so profound. Loved your haiku.
