On Wednesday I added some clouds to one of my seascape paintings, as the original clear blue sky looked so blank. Yesterday I ordered a set of fan brushes, all the better to cloud my future skies and fern-leaf my foliage.
Which leads me to this senryu:
with my fan brush
I scuffle in some clouds
promise of rain
Again on Wednesday, while on a walk, I watched the fluffy clouds drift over and wished they’d dump some rain on us. Yesterday’s cloud brought us about fifteen minutes of snow flurries, just enough to whiten the ground and briefly settle the dust. We desperately need a good soaking rain.
stop white clouds!
honor us with some drops
dust swirls along the road
soft morning rain
pattering in the trees
answered prayers
I can’t remember the last time we had rain. My watering can deserve a break!

We had a “good soaking rain” last month. Unfortunately it rained non stop for 10 days. No longer did it soak in but washed away houses, cars and animals.

Rain has this bad habit of over-soaking some places while others cry for thirst. 😦
