#Haiku Happenings #2: Susan Joy Clark’s latest #tanka for my current #Haikai Challenge!
the rain spritzes down,
leaving drops on lily leaves,
showering the plants,
providing wet nourishment,
shifting from spritz to downpour.
***
the strawberry moon
hovers majestically,
a giant pink orb
gleaming roseate brightness
in a purple-gray sky.
***
in her bright glory,
she looms peculiarly large
as seen just above
the ancient Acropolis,
seeming out of proportion.
***
sun glares light and heat
as moisture drips down my back,
car is now sauna,
dogs lie outside unmoving,
sidewalk is now frying pan.
