dry summer wind
caresses the old seared land--
tangerine dream

A gentle breeze on a hot day to cool off, and we see the intense sunlight distort colors.

Hola, Marival, it is so nice to have you back on the site writing haiku poems and reminding us what its all about. I've really missed that. I do write haiku but not so much on this site. I'm a member of an Australian haiku club.
Thanks a lot for sharing this lovely haiku with us. It's beautiful and it gives me so much inspiration. I will endeavor to write some haiku poems here, as well. I wish I had a six. Ulla xxx

    What is the Australian haiku club like? I thought you lived in Spain. It's good to be back. Thank you for reviewing my work.

    Oh, I do live in Spain, but I have a friend in Brisbane who runs a a small haiku club. She used to be a member of FS. I enjoy writing my haiku there.

A very well-written haiku about a tangerine dream that a summer sunset in Africa can create at the right time and at the right place. A beautiful picture to complement the haiku.

Gypsy,

Your colorized text is a bonus to your verse. Of course, I would favor 'orange dreaming' for your last line, which is the color I 'see' in your illustration (-;

    Thank you, Mark. I always appreciate your thoughtful reviews and helpful feedback. Haiku is supposed to create a mental picture with words. I add pictures for artistic effect but it should not be a literal interpretation of the poem. I chose tangerine dream because it has a good ring to it...a poetic effect.

    thank you, Mike,

What a splendid picture and matching, colorful presentation! I admired your personifying the sun in this 4-6-4 haiku. Even without the artwork, I could visualize the scene. Cheers- Joan

I like your nicely colored haiku, Gypsy. Your picture is a great choice, although your words paint a great picture of their own. Great job with the syllable count. I noticed you used the word 'dry' twice. Maybe use 'parched' in the second line. Thanks for sharing and for the notes. Respectfully, Jan

Beautifully written with the descriptive first lines using the summer season. Now the last I assume is from the dryness of the plains and the reflection of the moon?
