Seattle Spring

gray sky yawning
into never-ending
clouds that drench
the deep green ground

(vertical haiku)

by the way, those guys you commented to, just click on their names and say stuff to them at one of their poems or they will probably never know you commented back to them. i did the same as you when I first came to soup! Luv, Andrea

wow, what an image. I used to live near Seattle as a child. I did not like it at all because I need the sun, but I sure love this haiku!

Thanks Drake, James, and Dr. Ram Mehta! It has been pretty much non-stop rain here in Seattle and I'm feeling it (over 30 days with no sun!).
