Rain from the heavens <br />Relieves a parched, thirsty land <br />The people rejoice <br /> <br />Snow floats gently down <br />Covers the earth, a carpet <br />Squirrels hide 'til spring <br /> <br />Splendid old sunshine <br />Warms our hearts with lazy thoughts <br />Dreams of lakes, mountains <br /> <br />Sleet, chilly and wet <br />Falls in sheets of melting ice <br />Turns the earth to mud <br /> <br />Clouds spread, fill the sky <br />Darken the world bringing gloom <br />Yet welcomed by some <br /> <br />Thick blanket of fog <br />Dense yet light as a feather <br />Greets chilly mornings<br /><br />Miranda Sss<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/rain-from-the-heavens-and-other-haiku/
