flickering raindrops
body, lissome as lightning
she dances for herself
This haiku is based on an audio prompt by my blogger friend Ravish Mani. You can listen to the prompt here at Haiku Prompt.
There is another haiku which I wrote earlier on a similar audio prompt, you can read that here.

This is awesome, life, love, beauty and passion personified. What a wonderful picture, and indeed the beautiful thoughts are just not flowing but doing so magically…dancing or singing in the drizzle magnifies the passion, the surrounding and nature in mood makes us go crazy…we all love to express ourselves and it could be many ways of doing it, this liberates us from our assumptions and anchors which restrains us from exploring and expanding in life…just loved it.

Such a beautiful feeling to be playfully engaging with the season of rain, it has so many facets to unravel and it is for us to touch and trigger our senses…poetic thoughts to romantic feeling everything gets the inspiration we look for…
Have a lovely weekend Maniparna…

I used it in a story recently: “Finding myself seated next to this blonde, lissome girl proved a culture shock. I might as well have shared a desk with the goddess Athena; our early conversations had been that one-sided. “
