You're a Rainbow in the Rain

[maleonpyg]

You're most gorgeous when
raindrops trickling down your face
yielding a rainbow

I like your poem despite everything.

I see beauty manifest in forms and that is what a poem is for. For we swathe beauty with garbage.

This poem has done justice and I adulate the poet's use of nature in its raw to do up her / his corpus.

For nature is what we are despite all our veneers of nonsense. Undo your wrappings of society you are all nature and nothing un-nature

"yielding a rainbow"...
exposing a depth of grace
otherwise hidden

(Couldn't resist)

Wonderful haiku.

This haiku has touched my heart and I got drowned in its depth

I agree that tailor's haiku is more in keeping with the spirit of its form. It's extremely elegant...

There seems to have been a recent rash on here of postings devoted to haiku that are not haiku at all (either because they fail to adhere to the strict form or because they are merely random sentences split up into 5-7-5 syllabled lines; nothing more).
I'm wondering whether labelling a 'short poem' a haiku is supposed to make the writer seem more sophisticated or in tune with nature.
