Butterflies Pass through Rainbow

Well thanks for this opportunity for learning.. but I will restrict myself to 17 syllables at this stage and try to improve with time.. here's a series of haikus talking about haiku.. Hope you will enjoy..

Splash of colors
On wings, butterflies pass
through rainbow

I count syllables
Fits, yes it’s a haiku
I pick a picture

Haiku says to me
“Why show picture by my side,
What will then I show…”

I sit dumbfounded
My finger keys on ‘delete’
Picture emerges

Picture looks good
And glows without colors
I can choose them

My turn to steal
From a tattered rainbow
I take Red and Yellow

Sound of flutter
Butterfly becomes alive, ah,
Flower sings, heart laughs

Power of haiku
It shows so clearly, and
I choose beauty..

.....

And the one inspired by the picture there..

Riding a cloud
Moon comes closer,
A happy night..

    What a lovely series...you not only ran with the prompts and the haiku form, but took the discussion and haiku'd it. Wonderful series of poems leading to the prompt response - a colorful delight.

    You did a wonderful job of creating pictures with the haikus themselves. I like the use of wordplay. Nicely done my friend. I enjoyed seeing the process you went through here.

    You got me excited. I thought you might actually post a picture, and I wondered why you would, as you write without the photographs. You didn't disappoint. Your haiku in series painted a beautiful image in my mind. Thanks for that.

    Peace
