Haiku--By Ali Znaidi--Tunisia

fleecy clouds
around the moon…
her face cream
_______________

spring moon…
cocoons spit out
silkworms
_______________

moonless night…
the faint shadows
of a blue chicory
_______________

spring gentle rain…
jiving butterflies weave
through the rainbow
_______________

still dark…
glimpses of sky in
the kokako’s blue wattles
_______________

  5. Ali, I love the haiku, especially the--oh, never mind. I love them all! I am putting together a Postcard Poetry exchange, and as much as I'd love to have to sign up, but I understand that 30 international stamps may be a bit much. Why not start one in your country? Contact me through my blog, and we can talk ;-) http://www.lenorarainleegood.com/#!April-is-National-Poetry-Month/c1q8z/56c64ae40cf2de8a478fd71e
