under lightning skies
feel your touch like cricket chirps
soft as warm night rain
The challenge for Carpe Diem #1542 Cricket
is to write a fusion haiku
inspired by the following two haiku by Jane Reichhold.
lightning flash
into the sound of rain
a cricket shrills
nights
where you touched me
a cricket chirps
Jane Reichhold

Thank you, Merril. I imagine the rain as easing the heat and lending its own atmosphere.
