Hello Mark, I really enjoyed your haiku! The contrast between showers, flora, and the picnic scene is fantastic. It makes you think about how we see the world—both the beauty and the unexpected. Blessings, My Friend, Daniel

Great contrast. One one end, the flora is watered, on the other the picnic is ruined. Such is life. It works good for one and sadness for another at any one time. We are hope hope hoping for showers today! It hasn’t rained in awhile. Hugs ~ Kim
