clouds emptied of rain -
the radiance of Poui
in its aftermath
✿
coolness of the night -
to quiet sliver of light
upward gaze to moon

Its Ascension Sunday, and yesterday, Saturday, we had a nice cooling shower of rain during the day; a preface of our rainy Season which should start in June.

Beautiful. Paints a serene picture in my mind :)
I love the mediative feel of this piece - happy Sunday to you
For all the sadness of rain it keeps us alive just as the sun does. Only we can change if we have a mind to.

The world has a special kind of beauty after the rain.

elegant and lovely
Lovely words for a Sunday morning. Thank you.
The blooms are rejuvenated after a shower. Lovely, Gillena.
My we all rise a little for this day.
Ah, Gillena, it's so powerful to be able to find beauty in everything, even in rainy season...good for you! I love these changes too...sometimes :)
When the clouds empty themselves of rain, so many things change, sometimes for the worse, but often for the better.
Love what you bring from the Caribbean... it always bring warmth to me.

I love rain but I love your poem even more!!❤️ Beautifully executed!
The rain means what we want it to. Well written
The graceful - almost ethereal - feeling of these haiku, read beautifully together. The first one sent me off goggling images of poui - a stunning tree. Lovely writing, Gillena.
This is so pretty!
Love your imagery
