the rapture of sun
in a red surge of poppies
bursting with bees

Learn Haiku Through Cartoons
"We're all out there, somewhere, waiting to happen."
Oh, very nice — very sensual! Had about twenty different comments to make — but none of them appropriate outside the dungeon 😉
Great stuff —-
And you always choose the most interesting musical accompaniment. Broadening our horizons here, as always. 🙂
Really? I honestly had no ‘layers’ in mind here at all – I just wanted a scene with some feel-good warmth 🙂
Ah you can take the girl out of the dungeon, but… :O
And I don’t know about you, but sometimes I have a haiku ready to post but still need a song…thirty minutes later I’m still looking on YouTube. So, if the post’s title is a band name…nice 🙂
I’ve been in the dungeon so long there’s lichen growing behind my ears. [Shaking my head sadly.]
And yes — sometimes it seems to take longer to find that accompanying music and/or image than to write the haiku itself! A happy coincidence to find matching titles!
If I added images too, I’d manage approx. three and a half posts a month 😦
Fortunately, you’re a WP whirlwind!
Whoooooosh!
[Adding sound effects. That’s supposed to be a whirlwind.] 😉
It gets easier though. Unfortunately “photopin” changed its format though – will have to find another great photo source.
My, you even do impressions! Of weather!! Which are my favourite impressions 😉
And good luck with the photo source – here’s to keeping BIOLI the multimedia extravaganza we know and love!
Oh, you should hear my hailstorm. It’s magnificent 😉
As to the photos … oh dear. That is going to be a bear. o.O
