spring melancholy -
waiting for the raindrop
on the tip of a leaf

Area 17 said...: An unusual haiku, to me, because I wouldn't have associated melancholy with spring in a poem.

This is a very effective haiku, very simple, no juxtaposition, but you have me waiting with you and the raindrop, which is always a sign of a good haiku.

Thank you for drawing me in.; 26 February 2007 at 15:20
