Answered Prayer

I prayed for rain to visit us and to refresh our souls.... The heavens heard, and opened up, pouring water down the rice fields, Washing off the seedlings that we had planted for a week. ** June 6, 2010 ^_^

God hears and answers our prayers...Sometimes it seems that he doesn't but he does...Hope that the seedlings get a good start and have an abundant life...Keep the creative pen flowing..Thanks for stopping by and commenting on my work..Sara

Maybe the harvest wasn't as good as was expected.. Washing it away gives one a chance to start over.. An opportunity to do it better?? :) just me thinking further ~ WN

Hi Nikko :) A real case of 'be careful what you wish for', great twist of irony in your third line. After reading your sijo I think I finally understand the requirements of the form. Good luck if this is for a contest. TTYS Sharon :)

Nikko, I really like this, but I want to make sure about something. Did it end up being a bad thing, was it so much rain that it washed AWAY the seeds?(that is how I interpreted washed off) If so, wow, that is quite a twist THIS one has too! Maybe the best of your sijo I saw tonight. well, the time is just flying and I still have SO much to do. Luv, Andrea
