April's hot dry days -
shadows of banana fronds
pledge a cooling breeze

Still in the Liturgal Season of Easter; This April in Trinidad and Tobago it is scorching hot.

The haiku and the photo work so beautifully together. Great synergy. Cool relief literally floats from the piece.

Magical Mystical Teacher said...

Silly me! I missed the shadows the first time around!

Julian said...

I think you'd be glad of our chilly wind today that's carry rain with it. Yet again I enjoyed reading your work.

Old Egg said...

Wherever we all live there are always pros and cons whether it be heat or cold, rain or snow and even the driest of climates to test us. However home is still home and we love it. So your readers will see the banana plant and its shade and be jealous yet would still yearn for home eventually. Great haiku Gillena.
