Welcome to Tinywords Lynne!
I hope to see more of your haiku here.
Good original haiku.
so resonant of last summer – the water guttering down leaves, dripping into the canals
Welcome to tinywords, Lynne.
I’ve told you what a fan I am of your work and this poem is no exception.

i enjoyed to read about “all this green…”!
Very nice! Thanks.
With the current weather here in Blighty, the green is about all that’s forgiving the rain…and the wind…and the grey…and…I’ll stop there. :)
Lynne,
I loved this haiku! Eloquent, simple wording — yet so profound in its meaning! Well said!

Beautifully turned, Lynne.
a resolute affirmation of the sublime
executed with grounding precision,
the words have wieght.
Rain puddles, Nature’s
mirrors,reflections rippled
by bathing birds wings.
“…like tears in the rain.”
Quite the quite, Lynne.
Or in another venue common to some:
all this green
forgiving the rain
mud on the track
Such a novel way to see the rain. Very nice!

I loved Philip McDonnell’s reply. We’ve all been there.
Thank you. What is important and moving you’ve
so simply and beautifully executed!
It brings my mind to times I have spent with
the green and wet and spony mosses as they
begin to appear when two environments meet.
Hi Lynne,
this is simply beautiful!
And beautifully simple —
yet complex.
Good to see you here!
