A Moment

I love the sight of sunlight streaming through leaves :) A series of senryus

The green leaves are soaked

After the warm summer rain

In the midst of May

Sunlight streams through leaves

Sparrows chirp and fly around

In the tranquil yard

The shadows of trees

Paint the features of your eyes,

You lean in slowly

Your kiss arrests time;

Breeze ruffles my dupatta -

The sun is setting

Author's Note

I hope you don't get bored by my fascination with rain :P

Oh, and if you don't know, a dupatta is a kind of long scarf :)

I absolutely love how poets can manipulate words and images together and create something as beautiful as this poem within the delicate confines of Senryu or Haiku. This is one of those poems. I love the nature imagery, and I too love the rain! That last stanza about the kiss is beautiful! Excellent choice of words and images!

I'd never get bored of rain! Here, we don't get much rain, it's pretty dry, but when it does rain, I cannot resist running out into it! I just love the rain!

I really liked this poem! It was really sweet and it made me happy :)) thanks for making my day a little better. Also, I think I share your fascination with rain.. I live in Bergen, Norway.. the most rainy city in the country.. and the rain does hold it´s own kind of beauty. Good job on this!
