What's in A Name?

From the right point of view, every storm and every drop in it is a rainbow. - Thoreau

USA Today: Hurricane Henri

stealth percussion came

tails of woe twisted and spun

plucked strings wept in wake

Author's Note

"It is not worth the while to let our imperfections disturb us always. The conscience really does not, and ought not to monopolize the whole of our lives, any more than the heart or the head. It is as liable to disease as any other part." - Thoreau

Wonderful Haiku Pete. That final line, most memorable. Well done you. All the best.

thanks chris. that storm wreaked a lot of havoc and left it's mark not soon to be forgotten ... :)

Sometimes realisation has a sting like no other but from that sting of awakening, there arrives a hush where one can breathe a bit and find melody once again in the disharmony :) You are a wonderful Poet Pete :)

[Pete]

so true. finding melody in disharmony is the story of my life and probably most of our lives - probably the reason why i love music and always have a song in my head and a melody in my heart. you are a deep thinker and fantastic poet. my mouth always hangs open for a while after reading you and i feel things deeply inside that rarely ever are touched as you take us away into other realms of thinking and i say, "yes, yes, that's it, she's got it right and is onto something". thank you dear, cherished poet and friend for shining light and hope in an often dark world ... :)
