Moody Skies - - Split Haiku Contest

Sadness crying rain
                                            Dark storm clouds internal pain
                                                             Why
                                               Does the weather change

                                                   Monsoons emotion
                                             The sorrow that's in our skies
                                                             Why
                                                Does the weather cry

                                                  Blizzards of our pain               
                                            Flakes of soft petals presence
                                                             When
                                                    Does the sun arise

                                                  Clouds broken in two
                                            The first ray of hope has come
                                                             When
                                                     Does it ever stop

Thank you so much my friend and you are right it is difficult to get the true meaning across to readers with the limitations on words being able to use so I appreciate the compliment. Have a great evening
