Late one for May, and a few from last year

I should preface this by admitting I know nothing about haikus except the general 5-7-5 syllable structure, and the link to the seasons.  I've no idea if these would class as proper haikus in the traditional sense, but they are fun to write. ~For May~ I remembered you quiet, grass-stained 'neath bloomed trees smiling, sun-dappled ~Sundiata~ Sekou spat it hot rhymes tripping from his tongue like tap dancers on speed ~Bubbles~ Pure irridescence light framed, sheer shimmering sphere magic.  Then it bursts. ~Love~ A nuisance really; anguish, longing; must be borne; and he, unaware. ~Haiku 3~ Tadpoles of rain swim across the window; tattoo light beat on tin roof.
