This is a very good and beautiful haiku you have penned for the contest. You used very good words and very lovely and amazing imagery from the art work you chose. Best wishes in the contest. Blessings, Teri

This is a well constructed 5-7-5, but it is not haiku. Rules of haiku:
Naming convention: haiku (nature has reasons).
No caps or personification is allowed and you use both as 'reasoning' is a human quality.
Line 1 and 2 should be interconnected and provide a concrete image of a single moment in time and yours is two separate statements sans imagery.
A 'kigo' (seasonal reference) is required either concrete or implied and you don't have one. Artwork does not count to supply a seasonal reference as most haiku lacks artwork since the words alone should paint the picture in the reader's mind.
Line 3 should provide a 'satori' or AHA Moment and this is merely a statement.
Good luck in the judging and thank you very much for sharing it.

Maybe I should just withdraw it from competition. Thank you!

I really like the gif you chose for this one. I have to learn how to do that. I enjoyed your poem. The rain can be beautiful, even when we don't think we need it. The trees need moisture for over the winter. Very nice job! Cheryl

No one is raining on your poetry parade today! Fantastic moving image reinforces your contest entry. I have no complaints about Nature's weather (-:
Do like your choice of coloring and the centering of text lines.
Capitalization or the lack of punctuation is in your poetic hand. IMHO caps are not needed for your beautiful verse. If you insist, then consider punctuation to end each line.
Best wishes in the contest voting.

Thanks, it?s an ingrained habit to capitalize. I now am stuck between CAPS or No caps. LOL, your point is well taken. Thanks for the second reminder!

Trisha,
It is a dilemma. For me since I am surely not a poetry formalist (nor am I a poetry expert!), so I prefer the informality of no caps (-:

This is a short reminder that things happen in nature that we cannot always explain or want to clean up after, but sometimes or even often you get that 'bonus' of a beautiful moment. I hear some long "e" assonance in "reasons," "see," and "need." Nice post.
