We here in Trinidad and Tobago are experiencing our Dry Season one of the two climatic seasons prescribed to us.
Dry Season is a boon for the carnival minded. All that sun adds sparkle to glitter and shimmer of costumes. And gives valid excuse to peel down and revel on carnival days.
And after the carnival bacchanal the cool-down on beaches, but preferably under a beach umbrella.
While the more penitent fast and abstain in Lenten style.
Yesterday it rained and rained. A sudden outburst from a cumulus happy sky. Happens.
from rain-soaked sky
February moon sails in -
before night lamps light

A very nice Haibun, Gillena. Two seasons would be quite different for me. I love the contrast of people after Carnival revery!

I would love a dry season, Gillena, and some of your carnival, with the sun adding ‘sparkle to glitter and shimmer of costumes’. I imagine you were relieved to have a little rain. I love our haiku!

Indeed it happens... rain in a dry season sounds almost nice even if it obscures the moon.

Loved the haibun and the haiku is so perfectly attuned to what it follows! Perfect, Gillena.

A lovely haibun!
ReplyDeleteI felt a connection with this, it is our summer here (summer and autumn are hot mostly dry) I enjoyed the sense of carnival pending, the feeling of "it is coming."
