Summer rains falling

Ever so gently

Washing the worries away

My second attempt at writing a poem in the Haiku method.

To write a poem having only seventeen syllables has been a challenge for me. Much like when I speak, I often say more or write in this case more words than I really need.

I hope that you enjoy it.

Michael Thacker is a not so young adult blogger, aspiring writer, and sometimes seller of real estate.
