Grey outside (haiku)

Postby ken.brandli » Sun Feb 08, 2015 8:56 am

under leaden skies
we drive through rain showers
my daughter laughing

A delightful haiku and I agree with Tom as it is picturesque and "my daughter laughing" really did it for me thank you Ken. Welcome to Stella's site and thank you for sharing.

..... and what a delight it is to drive through rain showers with your daughter appreciating the experience. I am surprised you even noticed the "grey outside" when there's such merriment around. Welcome to Stella's site, Ken - great to see you posting here.

do it.Remarkable penning

How a child's laughter can utterly negate the melancholia that seeks to envelop us, Ken. A brilliant haiku!

Thank you all for the comments. I have to say this one is a favourite of mine and that is why I chose it to open start my posts on the site. (It's probably all down hill from here....lol). I am touched by the overwhelming welcome. Thanks to all!!
