barren field…
an old scarecrow hears
a wish for rain

memories…
if only heaven
had visiting hours
Shared with Haiku Heights and Carpe Diem.

Vinay Leo R.
Poetry & writing to me are to me, a breath of fresh air in a life that is sometimes covered by the smoke of sorrow or self doubt. They also become the sweets I share to celebrate when life offers me a reason to. But most of all, they are to me, my life. For each word I write is a piece of my heart, a thought that just had to find its way into the world.
I love the ‘an old scarecrow hears a wish for rain’. Thank you for sharing 🙂
Thanks, JRB.
Good day Leo, what a joy to see you here on Carpe Diem, the host of Haiku Heights, I feel honored.
And what a nice haiku you share here with us. I love the first one, like the sentence ‘an old scarecrow hears a wish for rain’. Thank you for sharing this wonderful set of haiku here. Maybe see you again here.
Oh Lord, I’m just a haijin who loves to write haiku, Kris. 🙂 The pleasure is mine to share with Carpe Diem this time, I do keep in touch with the daily prompts, but I’m a little haiku-ed out to participate daily. Glad you liked the thought behind the haiku 🙂
The 2nd one is so full of thought … loved it !!!
Thanks, GS.
Love both of those…each unique in its beauty…ah but the visiting hours…oh my …the best!
Yeah, it’d be nice if that were true. 🙁 Thanks, Martin.
Well written…
my personal fav..the first one 🙂
Thanks, Sumit. Glad you liked it.
Both are poignant.
The second one, in view of Friday’s tragedy, has me close to tears.
Again.
Peace,
JzB
Thanks, JzB. It is sad that we lose people so soon before we get a chance to love them, isn’t it?
Both of them very inspiring.
If only heaven had visiting hours…, superb, Leo.
Thanks, Dulcina. Glad you liked both 🙂
Here is something for you Leo…Thanks for your support 🙂

Oh how sweet of you, Roopz 🙂 Thank you.
Loved the first one, shows that everything seems to be crying for rain.
Even the second one is beautiful.
Thank you, & glad you liked both, DS. Cheers!
I can’t help but wish that the scarecrow would also sing for rain.
Scarecrow
I think the farmer would have liked that too, Mark. More prayers, more chances maybe? 🙂
excellent !!!
Thanks, Prema. 😉
Very nice both of them. The scarecrow one was excellent. 🙂
Thanks, Bjorn. Glad you liked it.
both haiku were thoughtful and lovely….I would visit heaven all I could to see those gone before….
Even I would visit, Joanne. Thank you.
That little phrase “if only” captures the essence of wishing powerfully…and sadly…
Wish Upon a Petal
Yes, MMT. That was the intention 🙁 Glad it worked. Thanks.
Good going Vinay, Second one made me smile and go WOW!
Thanks. Glad you liked both and esp. the second 😉
PS: Your name itself was better than “Dream”. This doesn’t sound as nice.
A fine pair of haiku, both evocative. BTW I think heaven does have visiting hours through memory. Thanks for the reminder.
Yes, I guess it does, but I meant really going up there, telling how much you miss them etc. If only that were possible. Thanks, Susan.
Oh…! That’s so different and very thoughtful
Thanks, Satyarekha. Glad you liked it.
Crafted to perfection, as always! The haiku on the scarecrow was vivid whereas the second one was really thought-provoking. It had me sighing, “If only…”
Thanks for finding it to be crafted to perfection, Zainab. Cheers! 🙂
Stunning and the two analogies reflect the wistfulness fully!
Thank you, Clarice. I’m glad you felt so. 🙂
