Salt of Tears

~Haiku Contest~

                                                       lying on my back..
                                             tasting raindrops from the sky..
                                                   some the salt of tears..

Enjoyed the visual, Michael. Reminds me of the old song, by Rick Nelson? "I'll Do My Crying in the Rain" . Best wishes in the contest and a great weekend. Always, Annalise
