Greetings!
We had a great first round and our WOTW is...
Lacy!
Lacy, please reply to this thread and tell us about your poem, what inspired it, how it was made, or just say whatever you want.
Also the board would like to recognize Jami who managed to layer so much emotion into three lines this week.
Great work!

I feel silly for not voting this week. I guess I need to add that to my calendar. Oops.
Well, my haiku came as a result of "a push of rain" popping into my head. I loved that phrasing. So I thought of watching one droplet. We normally think of rain on windows, windshields, etc. I wanted something more personal. The lines on the palm are associated with fortune telling, so I liked that. I really tried to do haiku as it was intended--compelling snapshot of nature with deeper meaning. I don't know. I kind of love it.

Thanks everyone! You have given me a boost of confidence for my writing. (Especially since I have been reluctant to join this group for a couple of years...) I am also embarrassed to admit that I missed last week but I am planning to be more proactive in the future now that I have my laptop.
I just ended teaching the first week of tihs forum therefore that is all I could think about. Since haikus are about nature I couldn’t help but associate the Ohio weather with my extended school year. I chose to include the second line because it is/was the state slogan. I am slightly sarcastic so I decided to use this to apply to my first line (which is my favorite). Thanks again!
