Rainy Day Haikus

Waited all weekend
to take in an earthly drink
rain drenching the soil

Bringing back to life
dry, thirsty vegetation
wilting through winter

Crunchy, desperate
longing for summer showers
fading, droopy, brown

Sounds of thunder roll
booming drums, lightning flashes
the sky opens, rain falls

Branches, like raised arms
reaching up in gratitude
the blessing received

Drink it in tonight
soak it up into your roots
summer has arrived

Some for everyone
trees, grass, plants, all luscious green
life restored again
