Dedicated to Chamuel the Archangel aka Sammy

The goddess of rain cried today. 

Each tear that fell hit the pavement like a drum beats. 

Tap,

Tap, 

Tapping in a syncopated rhythm. 

She wailed

more

and more

overflowing the rivers

and shaking up the seas. 

She cried

out of excruciating pain that has welled up in her for some time. 

She cried 

in utter shame for her children that have not taken care of what was given to them.

Powerless,

all I could do was watch,

listen,

and hope 

that all would be healed. 

Raining...a poetic haiku

This is a repost challenge that I did to come up with a haiku based upon the photo provided (please note, this is not my photo).

  Haiku is a poetic form of poetry originating from the Japanese. Haiku themes include nature, emotions or experiences.  Haiku follows a specific form:

First line: 5 syllables, 2nd line 7 syllables, and 3rd line 5 syllables.

(2012 Note: I flubbed the haiku but like the result anyway)

Here is the photographic inspiration:

Sweet kisses upon my skin

Carefully enraptured in the dance of life

Rain pours forth in passion
