The Downpour

downpours in midsummer

a flooded slum

An unexpected cloud burst can easily inundate the low lying areas like slums....! The poor are always badly hit by such sudden changes in nature. You said so much through a simple haiku, Lasaad !

I see the lovely house--lovely image, Lasaad.

Nature is indifferent to lavishness Lasaad, after all it’s just a human concept, if we choose to live near the edge, there is a always a price to pay, wonderful haiku, cheers David

Has happened. Normally we get a terrible storm in late summer.
