Haiku My Heart: Buckets of Rain


indistinct vista…
buckets of rain pouring down
 inundating streets

some say it’s angels
crying for humans below
dare we plead it cease?

Hi Norma. Lucky you to have buckets of rain. Love your Haiku and more than likely it could be angels crying for all of us who need prayer from all of the heartaches that are going on. Very nice.

I would welcome those tears... perhaps you can have a reprieve while they come and look over our parched lands over here... and... I don't know if you got my response to your comment, but I say yes!

Hi Nonnie, this is a lovely haiku, I will think about it when our long winter returns with many rainy days and grey skies...

Thank you for visiting me, knowing others who have gone through similar situations is comforting... My two sons live a distance, my daughter needs support herself. I keep praying for strength...x

Indistinct vistas are so mysterious. They give rise to many stories and poems!

There must be a lot of unhappy angels in the world at the moment Norma.

Only when we are beyond tears, which I hope we never are. Well done, Nonni.

Nice Haiku, Sounds like you've had some rain. We had a good "Thunderstorm" last night with rain & hail.
Nonnie said…

Nonnie said…

Much love...
Nonnie said…
as do I, Stephanie! poor California.
Nonnie said…
thanks, Gillena!
We need the rain so much but when it's a deluge, it can so often be damaging. Ah Mother Nature, she who cannot be predicted but without whom, we would be lost! Although I can see how those angels would have a lot of cry for right now. :(

oh the rain - either too much or too little - we can only accept and watch - seeking the beauty in each.

Pondering about My Blog

I've been through quite a bit these past months that I haven't posted.  First, packing and moving and then unpacking . The first step of unpacking was my taking down boxes that were five and six boxes high.  About two weeks after I’d moved and was in the midst of unpacking, I developed horrendous pain in my ribs. I slathered on my gel I use to alleviate Fibromyalgia pain. Realizing that even that was not helping. Trying to make a long story short- Asked for pain pills No help; asked for another kind Doctor wanted to see me Went in- he didn’t understand why I was still in pain Sent me to get x-rays Diagnosis: compressed fracture in my 9th vertebra Cause: osteporosis Now on meds for that I’ve discovered that anytime I overdo, pain comes back, not quite full-blown, but enough that I must stop doing whatever I’m doing. That includes sitting at my computer writing. I wanted to bring my friends up-to-date; I’m pondering whether I should stop blogging altogether o

Have humans sat here? Not recently, I think. Perhaps a snow couple rested for a while, and the shadowy remnants of them remain. more Cool Clicks
