    Poem Commentary

    Feeling stuck inside-not much fun getting drenched-good OP day:)

    Rain Haiku

     The rain wets the ground
    soaks into roots and up stems
    makes plants stand erect

    The sun will return
    Today is watering day
    The Earth drinks it up

    Puddles gather round
    birds drink and splash contently
    car splash driving by

    Rain, rain go away
    let the sunlight take a turn
    Smile upon the Earth

    wonderful four complete haiku added into one message... the rain makes it green... I once wished the rain in Georgia away, it didn't go away for days upon days, in the old cabin on stilts, atop a small hill like an ark... so I'm back in California where it's grey... when it rains, it does make the smog go away for a couple of days... I love your earthly poetic views...

    Thanks friend-rain truly is one of those things that can be considered good or bad-too littlt or too much-I trust that our mother knows when and where it should fall-Namaste...Earthly

    Might I suggest - bitrds now drink and splash content - That line needs on more syllable. I like Haiku, don't you. It says a lot in so few.

    Earthly, The beautiful imagery you use here creates a wonderfully vivid picture in my mind of a rainy day. Sometimes on rainy days I like to sit by the window and watch the birds playing in the puddles.Their frolicking reminds me to celebrate life every day and make the most of every moment.Thanks for sharing.Blessings. Terry

    Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
