mother is thirsty

i love anything that follows one of poetry's more strict forms. This not only has the right form, it flows. Beautifully. AND conveys a strong, clear message. Nice!!

[Willard Wells]

great Willard, you do these so well :)

[Willard Wells]

They seem to easy for me and I have to write longer pieces. Thank you for your kind words.

nice senryu, Willard... even the cool moon won't do much for this tinder ground...

[Willard Wells]

Ain't that the truth. We are now at a point that if we really get heavy rain all at once this next winter, we will have a great deal of flooding since the ground will be too dry and hard to absorb the water fast enough. Thank you again for your time and words. Appreciated.

oh, that's not good...

You are becoming master of the universe of the senyru Willard. Another lovely one!

[Willard Wells]

Fortunately you arrived just after my fix with the help of Marie. This was not one of the funny pieces I am afraid. Thanks for visiting and commenting. I so much appreciate your time with my words.

[Marie]

I didn't understand it either, till I realized that that the word is supposed to be "thirsty", not "thirty."

[Willard Wells]

Marie, OMG, I missed that. Thank you so much and I will correct immediately.

it is a good haiku but, i do not understand it.

[Willard Wells]

Your kidding right?? Mother nature is thirsty as she has parched the earth to dry dust. thanks for stopping by.

[Willard Wells]

With Marie's help I may have resolved the issue and I am sorry for the confusion young man. I understand your concern of my thought process.

[Perkele.7885]

I thought it said Mother is Thirty!

[Willard Wells]

It did. Marie caught the error I missed. I had just washed my fingers and could not do a thing with them. I mean if mother is thirty I have some splaining to do. LOL

[Perkele.7885]

That is why I could not understand it.
