A Double Handful of Haiku: You Can'T Fool Nature

Lightning's her giggle
Thunder's her belly laugh
Rainbow's Nature's smile

Rivulets run down
Like tears from a weeping hill
Quenching valley's thirst

Stars have no power
There's no magic in moonlight
Rain's not angels' tears

With time and nature
Diamonds from coal and pearls
Congealed oyster spit

You can't fool Nature
She demands variety
All part of the Plan

From Nature's viewpoint
Each season in its own turn
Is the loveliest

Thanks, John. I think, perhaps, that dealing with Nature is much easier.
