Mother Gaia Smiles and Poetry Happens

A short poem comprising two haiku

through the rainy clouds, lightning and thunderstorm …Mother Gaia smiles

the struggling writer looks outside the wet window …poetry happens

Next time, as a poet, when you a hit a writer’s block, go outside, and look around. Omnipresent Mother Earth will show you the way. Pay attention, and you’ll find a thousand things to write about.

And, if it’s raining, and you don’t want to go out; just like the struggling writer, look outside through the window, and I hope, poetry will happen 😃.
