Since we’re all vernal-like today, but yesterday it was windy, wild and splashy out here…I decided to storm through some old stuff. Found this ominous haiku, totally out of harmony with the first day of spring. To me, it’s just a nice contrast to all the daffodils and rhododendrons and other flowery things too esoteric for my feeble brain to identify popping out of every nook and cranny around here. What, do I look like a Druid to you? Anyway, here it is…
Cloud
Dark nebulous form
Bringer of uncertainty
Everlasting storm
N.B. Please also consider this a comment on recent suggestions that cloud seeding would be a good way to combat global warming. Though, sadly, in this zany techno-world of ours, that seems like one of the more well thought out ideas…
Global warming be damned…Bring on the sunshine…

following the link I found out rhododendrons cause something called “mad honey disease” – love it!

Awful poem, Sparky. Exactly what is uncertain about a cloud that brings an everlasting storm? Seems to me you would know just what you’re in for. Rain. Forever. The end. The thing even rhymes. Why inflict this stuff on the world?

Why can’t a Haiku rhyme? Damn, man…Too many rules. Fine…It sucks. Moving on…
