Haiku Bones #20 ~ Night Rain
Monday Poetry Train Revisited #77
~
When mourners lessen
When wars seem vacant places
There's always night rain
When age wearies some
And only the past gives hope
There's always night rain
When happiness drowns
When life is just survival
There's always night rain
When the spirit sighs
When crowds seem lonely spaces
There's always night rain

MY NEW MEME 
Weekend Mailbox #2 is HERE!
AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes
I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

This is really a very beautiful picture !!
Always the comfort of night rain. Beautiful!
Great use of repetition! I also loved the photo.
This is an amazing photo and beautiful words to accompany them.
I particularly like the last stanza.
Excellent!
Great!
clouds roll over
I can see this set to music. Here's mine.
This is both beautiful and very powerful. I love it,
Such images and sadness.
I live in night rain . It is my shadow.
Great read.

Love your photo! What deep colors. And your poem is wonderfully sad, especially your final lines:
'When the spirit sighs
When crowds seem lonely spaces
There's always night rain'
Beautiful picture and truly lovely Haikus!
Mine is here
Happy Tuesday!
