this is perfect and anyone that says there is not is totally blind.
We have had record drops in temperature after having a heat wave and not we are having record rainfall and cold.

May can be like that. I remember one Memorial Day when we had hail. But I wasn't sure what "bopping branches" meant as I think of "bopping" as a hitting motion or perhaps it's meant as a "dancing" move or like "bobbing?" Thought-provoking last line which makes me thing of the incongruity of cold on what should be a warm spring day just the impact that ignorance has.

Hi Gypsy; your haiku is definitely referencing nature, but I can't quite make the connection with 'blind ignorance.' Maybe, it is blind because of the gray skies, or the fact that it is cold in May.
Why is there no picture? I can only comment on your choice of background and enhanced font - they make a pretty picture.

    Climate change is a topic of debate but to me it's obvious. Our present president is against collaborating with other countries to use clean energy and improve our air quality. Today I was sitting outside in the cold when the last few days have been in the 90s. How can anyone ignore this?

    My computer crashed and I am waiting for a new computer. I always take pride on attractive presentations but with my Kindle this is the best I can do.

    Thank you for the review and kind words sweetie pie.
