Shadow, love it... the imagery is what I love the most, the downward look, reminds me of a nice rainy day... Linda

Good image of land soaking up the rains. It would really want to do that if it were parched! Love the title Sullen Skies.

This made me think of the desert longing for a drink.

Dear Shadow, if the land soaked it up, then the water must have been needed. Beautiful haiku! Sending you a Soup Mail. Hope you read it soon. Love, Carolyn
