interstellar clouds in space-
across the tarmac
oil mixed with rain

Hello David
The curious colouring of oil in water always intrigues me. The poem is a nice description but does it say anything more significant - I think a haiku should.
Cheers

Elphin, thanks for your thoughts, your right it is not good enough to be a haiku, I shall change the title to reflect that.
regards....David.

Haiku carry their own context, tradition, baggage and syllable counters. The new title is also defining parameters. The images, celestial and earthly, would lead me to think of distance, perception, the beauty that lies between stars. Enjoyed the mix, the liquids, the canvas of possibilities
cheers

Hi again David, I like the idea you have here, would be well worth expanding the theme to a longer piece which I'd love to read.
reminds me of something I wrote a while back called satellite street,thanks for the read..BinB.
