Thank you so much Perry! These two are definitely some of my own favourites, together with number 9.
As for the rainbows, you'd love it here then, we easily get several rainbows a day! We've got a very wet climate. The weather is unpredictable, the sun never lasts, we always know rainy clouds will appear in no time. A completely dry day isn't very common. A few days ago I saw 4 rainbows within a couple of hours.
They most certainly do! They will pop out of the bushes the second the rain stops. We are blessed in our yard with robins, wrens, tits, wagtails, finches, magpies... Robins seems to be particularly stubborn and don't mind sitting on the fence in the rain and strong gale. I've always find the adaptability of birds so fascinating.
Thank you very much, Rick! The third one was a painful one to write.
It's referring to a video from one of the journalists on the ground in Gaza, who filmed a little boy walking around with a plastic bag full of leaves. He thought he was collecting cheeseweed, hoping his family would be able to make a meal with it. The journalist told him the leaves were not cheeseweed after all, but an inedible plant. The little boy's face when he realised he's got no food hasn't left my mind.
I love these poems, esp 5 and 6. Beautiful rainbow. It has been a dog's age since I've seen one.

I actually do not mind the rain. 4 rainbows in one day is phenomenal. What do the birds think about the weather? They probably sing no matter what.

Entrance, number 5, touched me deeply this morning.
Thank you very much Sherry! Number 5 is definitely among my personal favourites.
Absolutely love ‘entrance’ and how you published all the poems at once. Your haiku are splendid! ✨
Thank you so much, I'm honoured! I'm really loving the format of the haiku right now 😊
I love it too - but I count on my fingers every time!
wonderful poems. I really liked the third one :)
