    Beautiful but so sad. Your haiku has a real wabi sabi feel.

    Love the serenity of this one. A feeling of relief that the anticipated rain did not come??

    “Nothing left to offer but the rain.” That line is so poignant, Frank. It embodies helplessness and tears. Beautiful!

    I sense an incompleteness, a longing – there’s the sunset but where’s the rainway?
