enough rain here five to six inches already and counting with basements filling and ditches flowing as swollen rivers carry away sheep too frightened to move to higher ground and wash out culverts which derailed a train of oil tanker cars spilling into the flooded fields and seeping downstream calling out hazmat teams and trucks hauling rocks while farmers groan at wet hay rotting crops covered with silt and black soil carried away and why must it rain another day?
farmers grow webbed feet
wading through muddy season
who’s building that ark?

Jilly at dVerse poets encourages writers to “break the rules” with this week’s haibun. Our local weather has been unconventional too….and destructive.

Mother Nature will have her way. Loved the webbed feet!

A deluge of words too. Perfect for the theme! (And feel free to stream some of that weather this way.)

Thank you, kindly! You’re welcome to some of our water 😉

The problem with water is mostly that it’s either too much or too little… loved those webbed feet.
Jun 26, 2018 @ 11:29:25
Perfect……just perfect…….that deluge of stream-of-consciousness words as the floods and their results….and the haiku with web-footed farmers! An excellent write!
