haiku #582: here and there / upon scorched fields / wild violets

Birds sing and the valley cries
A vaguely blurry peach dream
Grasses get wet after the spring rain

鳥が囀り谷が鳴く
ぼんやりとした桃の夢
雨立ち上り草濡れる

Congrats to the 10th Anniversary of Naviar ! 
Thanks for the inspirations from the Naviar Haiku Fest.. and now come to this place again for naviarhaiku530
