Sun rise radiates
through a dew drop on the limb
a prism rainbow

Beautiful thought, seeing that rainbow in a dewdrop, Joy. I'll also check out your Earthrolling Haiku, & tell my students, too! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI do believe people need more time to examine dew drops. In Tucson they don't last long.
DeleteLovely early morning greeting!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it Mary Oliver who takes time each morning to greet the day? Most mornings people are too busy getting ready for work to even notice what the day might bring.
DeleteGood Morning to you. I hope you have an amazing time greeting the morning at The Highlight's Ed. Foundation Barn.
Hope it's been a light-filled day for you, Joy! Thanks so much for sharing your poem and the link. I did break away from rounding up around sunrise this morning to step outside and invite a haiku - got one posted. There are hundreds now (Fri. early eve.) - what an amazing project.
ReplyDeleteHaiku folks are amazing. Thanks for adding to the poem, Robyn. I don't know about you but it is light here by 5 AM so I've been getting up earlier lately. It does help if we want to take our morning walk before it gets too hot. Summer is quickly rolling in around Tucson.
DeleteLovely! Your haiku goes with April Pulley Sayre's new book RAINDROPS ROLL.
ReplyDeleteI'll have to check this book out. Thanks for your post on it.
