Carpe Diem today is to write a haiku inspired by Kikusha-Ni (Tagama Kikusha Zennshu):
in the teabowl
this motion of the clouds
of “little spring”
I turned this a little bit toward summer instead.
Wheat Field behind Saint-Paul Hospital with a Reaper by Vincent van Gogh
glimpse of summer –
reflection in my tea
of rain clouds
Björn Rudbergs writings 
That very clear imagery is nice
Rain here today 🙂 summer
Very nice. Your last lines are usually gems and sighs for me…a good sigh.
Earl Gray tea?
Nice take inspired on the given haiku.
wonderful image
Cheers!

Should those rain clouds let loose, your tea would be watered down considerably—a weak, insipid brew! 🙂
Teabowl
And cold too..
((SIGH)) Lovely haiku.Clouds here, too. A pleasant respite from the heat, though. 🙂
The thought of summer is tightly connected to rain for me
After 27 year in Portland Oregon, summer is the one time the rain stops. You can only grow a garden with irrigation once it’s sunny and warm enough to grow one.
This suggested summer to me too! I love the idea of sipping the rain clouds, which your poem suggests! Stirred, Not Shaken
Van Gogh is perfect…feeling the humid summer day….
I wonder how it would be if you saw your tea reflected in the rain clouds…
Stirring Sugar Clouds
Cool 🙂
