I don't fully get this yet but oddly it evokes warm memories for me. Well done.
I love this one. Turning down the volume so that one can enjoy the melody of rain on the lake. How idyllic!
Vaughn, aurora has caught the first meaning I intended. If there's a further suggestion of the volume being turned down in the universe, with the rain as instrument, that's fine with me. I do relate to what you say about memories: a lot of rainy nights at a lot of lakes, including the one where my first wife and I used to spend several weeks each summer (Alma died in 1981), went into this one.
beautiful combination of thoughts
thank you
(thanks also for the "booklist" - glad you like burke - when we go out to play will we squabble over who will be robicheaux and who will be clete purcell) :)
Dear bill
As i read this haiku, its raining here in St James, Trinidad.
an aha moment, maybe
reading a haiku- -
sound of the rain
on my rooftop
much love
gillena
floots, we'll take turns.
gilena, thanks for sharing that moment.
this has a beautiful feel. love it.
Another Kenney classic.
Thanks, polona and collin.
Simply, and complicated;
I guess before the rain there was a noisy wind around? Or perhaps a crying troop of noisy children?
Sorry Bill, your poems make me continue writing! :-)
tikkis, my responses to aurora and vaughn (masago) have some bearing on your question. Specifically, I was listening to the radio and turned down the volume so I could hear the rain on the lake.
:-)
