Blessings come down like rain
Monoku
He shall come down like rain upon the mown grass: as showers that water the earth. Psalm 72:6

Seeking direction
Holding to the thread of hope
Walking life’s road

Haiku Horizons Weekly Challenge Week# 229 Prompt: Thread

Thoughts visit
White pickets
And lavender’s fragrance
Taking me back to summer days
With you
Cinquain

Constantly changing
Caught up in a tide pool life
Fighting to survive
Seeking someway to escape
The high and low that entraps
Tanka

When the
Lightening strikes
Rolling thunder threatens
I seek safety in the One who’s
Above
Cinquain

Their visit is short
Yet brightens our summer days
Beautiful blooms
Haiku

Troubles
Everyday
Coming someone’s way
What can I say, but sigh and pray
Always
Cinquain

Reflecting my mood
Mountains cast shadows of blue
Walking life’s trail
Haiku

I shot a cruel word into the air
Hitting the tablet of a heart
It crushed and laid it bare
I shot a kind word into the air
With loving thought and care
A hope and dream it did impart
Rhyme
Words have power to destroy or build up.
Think before you speak.

Empty words spoken
A treaty signed by two
Playing games on paper
Senryu
