Haiku (non-traditional Friday Haiku 7/17/2009)
Nature and Nuture in Me Day by Day
non-traditional haiku
dis-ease spreads through clouds:
five hours past midnight, fire-tinged
clouds: peace or disease
P.S. As I was driving from Baltimore to Washington, D.C. after 5 am this morning, I saw these beautiful clouds and gave praise. But I also remembered the forecast about a hot, muggy day with later asurance of rain. This is the result of my vision and revision -- my hybrid haiku.
