Sudden Downpour: A #writephoto #quadrille #haibun

5-17-2018-suevincent

 

The rain fell unexpectedly. The tumultuous gray had so quickly gathered that we had no time to turn back. A welcoming row of entwining trees offered us a welcome shelter. We rested our bikes and waited.

    Caught out in a light Summer rain. That sounds so refreshing Frank. I’d go out and do it now, but it’s gone. Thanks for a pleasant memory!

    The rain gives one a chance to take a break.

    I enjoyed this short shower, Frank. It’s fun sheltering under a tree and seeing the sun emerge again.

    I love those showers and waiting under the trees… it has happened so many times and it makes me think of summer.

    I love the rain! 😊 One learns a lot from those drops that reach out and meld with the tears. 💜

    I love this – the summer shower and waiting under trees for it to stop — a lovely way to spend a summer afternoon!

    Nice imagery. I like the way you combined haibun and quadrille forms.

    Going with the flow of nature is wonderful especially when it offers a natural umbrella! Nice haibun quadrille, Frank.

    The reference to Flanders is very appropriate…
