~*RAIN SONG HAIKU*~

5-7-5

Rain's graceful lyric
carefree in spirit it sings
God's soothing love song

Beautiful Haiku...so much said in so few words!

Thank you all for the kind replies.  I just love writing haikus and senryus.  This is one of my favourites that I have written because there is just something so calming and soothing about rain. Instead of seeing rain and the storm that follows as a bitter force of nature, I choose to see it as beautiful

Take care,
Melissa Honeybee

Melissa~
You KNOW I love this.
I agree with you on the gentle fall of the rain ... not too keen on those violent downpours though.

As I type this ... the gentlest of rains is pitter-pattering on the roof ... romancing the window pane.

Whoa !  LOOK WHAT I FOUND !

A gentle rain falls
Romancing the window pane
Softly comes the rain

i like rain too...i am one of those who choose to stroll in the rain,letting it cleanse my bitter soul while others scurry and hurry to fing shelter
