Region of Famine

Thirsty shadow crawls,
While the tree reaches for rain;
Earth cracks from the drought.

Nicely done Haiku Raul. One of my favorite forms. You surely do it justice. Love, Carol

Like your Haiku. The earth is longing for the rain here. Sara

Sad haiku here Raul but, you described it well, we haven't had rain in at least 3 months. Very dry and hot here.

I like the tree reaching for rain ... and how is my friend today ... I see the master still toils at excellence.
