Pollen of the pine
yellow dust blown on the breeze
covers everything

Thanks to a rainstorm
the terrace runs with custard
everything washed clean.

Prompt PINE from Haiku Heights
.
We don’t actually have any pines in our mediterranean garden (view from the study window above) but we do get the fall out from other gardens. Everything gets covered in thick yellow dust. It is such a blessing to have rain to wash everything clean because it is such slimy stuff to wash off the terraces and garden furniture.

We have yellow dust from our live oaks … I look forward to its completing its cycle … didn’t realize pines did the same.

Superb,. I guess you wanted to convey,. and you have done it!
Lovely haiku. Does all that pollen make you sneeze?
Yes, and brings my skin up in bumps
Beautiful, and hopeful. Pine pollen permeates. A cleansing rain is very welcome.
Pine pollen dust in the rain! A beautiful image!
Nature has a way of working in tandem with one another.. Great for making us aware again, Tigerbrite!

Interesting background note – I love to learn new things….Great photo, and haiku felt at first cloying, then free (to me)
The beauty of a freshly water-washed plant is a thing of beauty indeed!
Haven of solitude amongst rising thoughts
