Cloud heavy with rain
Warm torrent pours on me wet
Taste the water world

Yes, indeed. Well put, Faye. I guess that we are the envy of drought affected areas so may as well enjoy it all!
I was thinking that we could just about develop a conversation based on haikus?

Frangipanis bloom
Bouganvillea blossoms -
Butterflies arrive!
What a lovely picture you paint, Lee. It sounds as though you live in paradise!

Bloody Hide

A tick struck today
Not the usual dog , but me -
Engorged with MY blood

Great title...
by: Jill
Judy, that sounds like a horrid experience - but I just love your title.
I am wondering, though, if this "double meaning" is an Australian colloquialism? Does anyone out there know?

Morning sun, green seas,
Five turtles calmly gliding.
And then! Small grey shark.

Icy tendrils creep -
casts a shadow on the deep.

On the beach I relax,
In the snow I shiver,
Can't you see the difference?
