I lay
under a shower of old gold.
Laburnum petals fall.

Good one Rachel - I'd take 'falls' out though

lovely, I love laburnum and your picture captures it beautifully

Very good Rachel - allow me a remix:

I walk
through petal shower
with golden chain

Love it!

I agree with David, you don't need 'fall'.

You have two versions of your haiku I see, one in the 'haiga' (beautiful art) and one on the page:

I lie
under a shower of old gold...
laburnum petals

I lay
under a shower of old gold
laburnum petals


Not sure you need so many periods (full stops). As haiku are open-ended one period might be okay for exceptions, but two is one or two many. ;-)

More of this artwork from you please! ;-)
