Tattoo Haiku - Poetry Jam





Is it the rain or

your heart that beats so strongly

I trace your tattoo


It poured off and on this afternoon and I got to thinking about another time and place; rain on the roof can be such a romantic influence.

    This is so beautiful and romantic and subtly nuanced: rain beats and heart beats and that mysterious tattoo. You’ve painted a cozy, intimate scene that is timeless and intrinsic to loving humankind.

      Oh! I have learned something from you ... I never knew there was another form of Japanese poetry akin to haiku ... thank you, Donna!
