Beautiful haiku! It is amazing how the water in the picture that you chose looks like a gemstone.

Hope you've had a pleasant summer. I, too, love the photo, how the water looks like gems, "after the rain." Thinking about the moon finding cover. Thanks for sharing this.

The moon finding cover is an intriguing thought, Jone. Sorry about the heat. What a summer of incredible temperatures it has been.

I adore this photo and your haiku, Jone. That sitting moon of waterdrop, whatever is the opposite of frozen in the record heat! To me it looks like you have been doing the Sealey Challenge very much justice!

Your pairing of photo and haiku is pitch perfect, Jone! "Poemcrazy" is a favorite of mine, and one I turn to time and again. Thanks for reminding me it might be time for another visit!

Jone, the colors in your photo are gorgeous, I hope the heat evens out soon. Thanks for the beauty of nature and the haiku that shares the topic of the summer.

Jone,
I love a good rain during a heat spell. We are having that today--cooler weather, clouds, and a tropical storm on its way to our desert. The global climate disruption is terrifying, but the relief feels good. I like the personification of "the moon finds cover" in your poem.

Gorgeous photo, Jone - and I'm intrigued by that moon seeking cover, too! Wonderful.

Jone! I think when I saw your haiku photo on facebook, I mistook the raindrop for a blueberry!

That raindrop--beautiful!!!
