after the storm comes cleansing cool breezes,
air fragrant from flowers drenched,
bedazzled with raindrops

Kimo poems are an Israeli version of haikqApparently, there was a need for more syllables in Hebrew. That said, most of the rules are still familiar:
• 3 lines.
• No rhymes.
• 10 syllables in the first line, 7 in the second, and 6 in the third.
Also, the kimo is focused on a single frozen image (kind of like a snapshot). So it’s uncommon to have any movement happening in kimo poems.

We have had mild temps around 80F (28C). Normally I’d be calling this hot, but at least the breeze feels cool in the shade!!!
