Rain falls like laughter
splashing drops on hand and rose,
joy forever young

Yesterday and today: Merril's historical musings 
Very clever, making such a pretty haiku including all the words 🙂
Thanks so much, Jane! I find haiku very difficult to write. I’m glad you liked it.
I find it difficult too, to get it as it’s intended anyway.
Yes, exactly. 🙂
Much, much better than a rain dance – may it work its magic in the dry spots of the world including our neck of the woods. By the way, you’re very good at this, Merril!
Thank you, Marian. 🙂
You can have some of our rain. We had a thunderstorm earlier, and there are more on the way–for the next few days.
My smiles are raining, but the laughter is spilling…we were definitely on the same wavelength! (K)
🙂
I liked this one a lot. I felt some of it, as well as seeing the pretty flower photograph cheered me up, Merril. I will have to come visit you this weekend, sometime in between life and work! 🙂 Thank you for your lovely comments!
You are always welcome, Robin! 🙂
The back and forth conversations on our blogs brings us closer, don’t you think? ❤
Yes, indeed. 🙂
Well done … and my side of Cincinnati could use some rain.
I’ll see if I can send some over. There’s a flood watch in effect. 😉
The front that you are getting today passed through yesterday. We got about 0.4 inches at our house. …. 4 inches (or more fell 20 minutes away) … and maybe not to that extreme, but that has been a frequent pattern this summer for our location.
The golf tournament my husband was going to play in got cancelled, but the sun has been out this afternoon. I think we’re supposed to get more rain over the weekend though.
I agree with Jane. Haiku well done, and using all the words.
Thank so much, Ken.
love the rain and laughter being linked! lovely haiku!
Thank you very much!
Lovely and optimistic.
Thank you, Jennifer.
Thank you. Your words were just the way I wanted to see them written. You did a beautiful & meaningful Haiku. You are quite good at it, if this is how you work the words. Challenges are always good for the soul, especially if something magical comes forth as it did in your Haiku. You honor me with your writing.
What a lovely comment! Thank you for your very kind words.
I appreciate them even more because I find it very difficult to write haiku.
I think the difficulty will lesson as you find yourself in the middle of the ways of Haiku. Let yourself write a first draft. Use the thesaurus and dictionary. These will help you and inspire you. 1st draft is like an outline. Haiku doesn’t need to come out perfect. It rarely does. Nothing really does. It’s the working of it that brings the ideas and what you want to say happen. Rain Like Laughter was a beautiful attempt at finding the heart of Haiku. Keep it in your heart to guide you.
Thanks, Kiley. ❤
