one deep breath haiku: storms


stand in the darkness
at the rattling window
ask the trees to stay

OK, now TWO! of the ODB poets have made me cry today! But in a good way. This is just very, very good.

Excellent haiku _ I can relate entirely. Lovely photo too - it does look like an owl!

This is a wonderful poem. So much in a few words!

Lovely connection to nature - textually and visually. Wisdom of the owl and the trees and the wind.
