Who'll Stop The Rain?
We're experiencing record-breaking rain in the Bay Area. As of March 30, it had rained 24 days in the month, beating a March 1904 record of 23 wet days. Now we are at April 3rd, and it is raining, as it rained yesterday. No let up in sight. This isn't fucking Seattle!(Apologies to Seattle-ites - I love that town.)
Levees are breaking in the Delta, roadways are flooding, hills are sliding. It's just lovely. And I can't stand it anymore!
So I'm writing very poor rain haikus. Please join me - send some haikus my way! (Remember, haiku is 5/7/5 syllables - but liberties are of course allowed - there ain't no haiku police around.)
rain falls endlessly
drip, drip, down the water spout
will it never stop?
Rain falls steadily
cars swoosh by on wet pavement
Slip. Slide. Honk Honk! CRASH!
I sing in the rain
Stomping in puddles, water flies up
My voice is tuneless now
Drenched in the rain
Shaking fist at dark, grey sky
Fuck the rain – fuck it!

In a harsh dry land
Rain is seen as a saviour
but too much can harm.
March has just had its hottest average for over 50 years, here in Australia. Are things really going awry? If so why doesn't our leader want to help out by ratifying Kyoto? Could it be because his friend Georgie-porgie doesn't want to play either?
Keep dry.
Cheers
ask Infini - she's a fan of CCR, according to her profile...
yes, we've had some nice sunny weather here... but we'll pay this summer with wildfires... but Californians understand that!

Slow trickle downstream--
Sudden downpour makes deluge
Chunks break from stream bank .
