Written for Heeding Haiku With HA: Summer Kigo by MindLoveMisery’s Menagerie… Summer is indeed burning brightly over the northern hemisphere and I am so much looking forward to joining them next month for a couple of weeks. However, south of the equator, at the bottom of the world Winter is making herself very well known. So here is my tanka from:
The OtherSide
On the other side
billowing clouds block the sun
wind chimes dance fiercely
shaded from Summers beauty
we’ll find our way back again.

Hi Charlie, as a fellow Melbournian I feel your pain – the wind chimes would definitely be dancing fiercely today (if not flying away all-together!) Your tanka has really captured this year’s winter well and your picture beautifully complements your poem 🙂

Thank you for your lovely comments. It’s a nice to meet a fellow Melbournian. Today, is indeed, a classic Melbourne. Did you see how it changed so dramatically???

I know… typical Melbourne weather. Was I so naïve to think that spring was in the air?!

Sweet… And I am looking forward to winters now. Enough sweat has been shed this season. 🙂
Thanks for participating in the prompt this week.
