“Giddy grasshopper/ Take care...do not leap and crush/ These pearls of dewdrop” ― Issa(1763-1827) - Japanese Haiku
Haiku + Senryu
Haiku is a seasonal, reverent celebration of a subject (nature or people) trying to make a feeling.
Senryu tends to have a victim and may be humorous or irreverant trying to make a point.
- paraphrased from Michael Dylan Welch's Graceguts

Beautiful imagery Gemma, rain never fails to evoke long lost thoughts...
"scraps of somewhere else"
What power in that breath!
Very nice! It's amazing just where you might come across "somewhere else". And the perfect image to go with your haiku!
nice words ...descrptive of a wandering mind in a few words . love it !
I like the image of "littered with scraps of somewhere else". It got tracked in with the water. Good one.
