if wine has a sound –
the crash of spring breezes
through fresh leaves

This poem was written in response to Heeding Haiku With HA: Spring, another great prompt hosted by HA at Mindlovemisery’s Menagerie. All of the poems in the link-up can be read here. And, to finish, here’s the Rolling Stones –
This is perfect — I **love** it, Blake. 🙂
It’s a great image — and what an awesome, laid-back feel to the whole post. 😀
Thanks, Jen! I wanted to try to get that sense of drinking-in the spring time as it starts to freshen up the world again – a bit laid back and a bit heady, too 🙂
Oh yes — you definitely accomplished that 😀
And now that I’m back – visiting the haiku again – I’ll give Mick another listen too 😉
This is a great version, isn’t it – one of my favourite Stones songs! Oh I do love making my homepage into a groovy little jukebox 🙂
LOL!!!
Cool!
the wind whines
through the empty vines
in spring
😉
Oh I like that. Are the vines empty because all the grapes have been drunk? It makes me think of Bacchus 🙂
Since I started writing haiku I’ve always envied how you and Jen can just pluck a haiku out of the air as an instantaneous response to someone else’s writing. I still don’t know how that’s done..
Wow .. What a compliment Blake. I couldn’t tell you how I ‘pluck a haiku out of the air’, it just seems to be there shouting at me, if that makes sense. 🙂
In theory it makes sense, but in practice… ah well, maybe one day I’ll hear those loudly assertive haiku too 😉
Well it seems to me that you’ve got a very strongpoetic voice and you write lovely haiku … so … you’ll be plucking haiku in no time indeed!
