I went to college in Nebraska, and oh! how this photo evokes memories of that landscape! There were lots and lots of times when the sky looked like that, too, and people were happy because it had been so dry for so long. Very well done poem, Gypsy. Good luck in the contest! xo

You did a great job with this poem, Gypsy. I mentioned in a review to one whose comments mentioned your inadvertent help that you're the best to teach haiku. I should have said you're the best in Japanese poetry of any kind!

This poem painted such a picture. I saw a field, dry and drought stricken, then a start of a breeze. The signal of rain. They fat wet drops being absorbed by the ground. Plants dancing under the pattering of drops. Beautiful written. Gretchen

Thank you for sharing this contest entry with us. Yes, dry feeds would be so happy to get any rain at all. I know in Texas we get joyful when it rains. I enjoyed reading and good luck with the contest.

You should get your book on 8/21/24.

The waves of grain appreciate the weeping clouds. I love play on words, and this one captured the sensitive side of a storm. Great job, Gypsy.
God bless,
Steve

This eight-word poem, Sky Weeps, has the proper formatting and allows that the dried-out grains may still be saved when the clouds finally get misty.

This is very well written and it has a very nice flow to it. Your presentation is beautiful. I wish the sky would weep over our land here in Phoenix, Arizona, Arizona as we are extremely dry and are needing to have some weeping sky. Patricia.

Seems like botn sky and waves are at different and perhaps opposite sides of the issue. I think like with us, humans, their c ability to survive might lie in their willingness to come together. Great entry, good luck in the contest.
