The Friday Fling Gets Its Poetic Feet Wet Celebrating Spring Rain!
Friday Fling #275 for March 28th 2014
It’s the end of March already,
and we’re anticipating “April showers.”
So our theme this week is: rain.
Or more generally, the features and powers of water.
Since this is a nature topic,
we thought it would lend itself well to the Haiku,
a poetry format developed specifically to celebrate nature.
It’s also one of the simplest formats,
consisting of only three lines of 5-7-5 syllables.
Here’s an example:
Raindrops keep falling
New growth keeps growing in Spring,
nurtured by the rain.

We encourage you to do more than one of these
on the topic of rain and water!
This week the Friday Fling gets its poetic feet wet
writing Haikus about rain and what it’s made of!
Be sure to save time to read and comment nurturingly
on your fellow Pals’ moist Haikus.
Then go enjoy a fine early Spring weekend!
Don’t forget an umbrella just in case!
Love Spring Rains…Beautiful blog tonight Bob..Smiles
Singing in the rain gains
No one sees the tears nor feels the pain
Swinging….. releasing
Bob will be a bit late .. Yet we welcome you to The Friday Fling Haiku style .. Bring your muse its only three line .. Have fun as we share Spring .. Thank you .. Hugzzzzzzs Now .. :love: 🙂
RAIN IN SPRING

Cool rain upon my face
Streams down wash away my tears
All smiles yet another day

The rains of springtime
spur the growth of thirsty seeds
into Spring splendor.

When wintertime wains,
water works with whatever
wainwater wets well.
