A striking image, Line. Hope the hard work did not go to waste! That trickle in the creek seems to be telling us that rain would be welcomed! Regards // paul

I've heard of which you speak. But hear in So Cal dark clouds mean nothing. They're usually gone by noon. But like Michelle I love the smell of line-dried sheets.

A sense of urgency is felt in your haiku, Line, of getting the laundry in just before the storm. A very visual and tactile poem. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan
