Thank you for reminding me of the pleasant fragrance rain often has and the name for it. I enjoyed your descriptive 4-6-3 haiku and the perfectly parallel artwork. Best wishes in the competition- Joan

Comment from Louise Michelle
Fan Story is really giving me a hard time. It took over 60 seconds to pull this up. Anyway, you did a good job with this short, short. Terrific image with words that compliment it. Rain clouds aren't so bad as long as they don't turn into tornadoes. Hugs, Lou

Comment from Debbie Pope
I think that this is a lovely haiku. I thank you for teaching me a new word. Petrichor is a strong word. I should have known that.
I am no haiku expert, but you seem to follow all of the important rules.You connect two occurences in nature--rain clouds and their presence over the Blue Ridge Mountains-- and define the significance of the connection through the word petrichor. I am in the moment with you. I would love to smell it. There's nothing like that odor.
Good luck in the contest. I would expect this to do well.

Very nice poem of coming rain in the Blue Ridge Mountains. My grandparents lived in Asheville when I was a kid, and some of my best memories of those times were when I would stay with them during the summer. Thank you for bringing back those memories

Oh! I love that smell too, and that's not the only imagery your wonderful haiku evokes -- I remember the beauty of those mountains. Driving though the state is a treasured memory.

This is nicely composed, Janet. I know that earthy scent. Is that your photo? I lived in Tennessee for about 10 years. A beautiful state. Best of luck in the contest. Marilyn

Thank you Marilyn for the wonderful review. Tennessee is a beautiful state too.
It wasn?t my picture- I guess I never took any of cloudy days. 😊
Have a great weekend.

Hello Jmf4119, a terrific Tuesday to you. I hope this finds you well. Thank you for sharing your poem, I liked it, and Blue Ridge Mountains is in my neck of the woods in WV. I counted your syllables a few times and they seem off, I could be wrong but you might want to double check. Have a great day!

Thank you for your thoughtful review and kind comments.
I should have put more information in my notes. Unlike a 5/7/5 poem, a haiku has 17 syllables or less. It is written in a short - long - short line format. It should have a reference to a season and have some sensory appeal. There are many guidelines for this Japanese Short Form poetry. It has been a whole new thought process for me.
Thanks again.
Blessings

Good luck in the contest. I enjoy reading short haiku poems. A lot can be said in such few words. I love a good summer rain as it cools the earth down.

Comment from lyenochka
Yes the smell of the ground after the rains bless it after a dry spell is petrichor, a favorite word among poets here. Beautiful picture and nicely done haiku. Best wishes in the contest!
