Haiku My Heart: Paintbrush








the sun dips its brush
first in the sky, then water
and paints love around



p.s. Please forgive me, fellow Haiku creators. . .
I am off for the weekend and am not taking e-devices.
I will soak in your genius when I'm back.
In the meantime, the 20 somethings are
holding down the fort and (I hope)
remembering to feed the felines
Deja Mew and Purrsnickety.

This is, without a doubt, a beautiful photgraph, and your haiku matches impeccably. Just beautiful.

Peace.
