Rain

It is raining.

It is that time of the year when all the rain-fairies are out, and they light up the darkening trees and lend to those funny, rotund globules of rain glitters and shines and happiness. Us, too, if only we were to listen closely enough.

I was reading this blog today, and this is the result.

Rain

Drops of water fall
jewels from infinity
mortal once on earth.

Haiku?

How about: Rain

drops run down to earth
with nothing to break their fall
but the cold hard ground.

[The last line is pretty weird, but I'm also tired :) ]

Cheesy Heavy Metal Haiku:

step into the fire
alone you stand in the heat
how long till you burn?

parivrajak said...

Cheesy is RIGHT!

Cheesy Heavy Metal Haiku Reply:

Head pounds terribly
Metal came and said hello
Ears can hear no more.

*ducks blows*

Varun said...

Actually, it's quite funny :)

You won't have to answer to me for your blashphemies against metal. You'll have to answer to a higher authority - Thor and his hammer.

And for your countless blasphemies against The Lord of the Rings, you will answer on the day of Ragnarok.

Varun said...

Either way you will burn - in either alternate reality

@verun:
Indeed. Remember I said all the gods are on my side?! :P

@the piper:
Blasphemies, against LotR?! Come, now! I only ever upheld HarryP, with respect to resemblances with certain people. That doesn't equal LotR-blasphemy!! :)

Varun said...

You upheld Harry Potter? *Shocked*
Till now, I had only ever heard rumours of such foul practices. To hear someone admit it so openly says a lot about society today.

parivrajak said...

Yes, indeedy. Insect murders notwithstanding.

:P

Varun said...

I was assualted by them! What else would you expect me to do?

Varun said...

*assaulted*

Blasphemous Pariv Rajak, if you will not listen to me, at least lsten to Varun. He is a wise man.

Varun said...

@Piper-of-dawn
She is beyond hope. Even wise men like us will have a tough time reforming her :)

parivrajak said...

@both:
Psh. You try too much. It's much too fun needling you both, and entertaining too. :P

@verun:
Yes, of course. Murder in self defence. Gets you off the green mile.

Varun said...

Yes it does.

And yes, we do try too much. I think this is the 18th comment on this post. Some people cannot be reformed.

@Varun

The caption on her profile picture leads me to believe that all is not yet lost.

Remember what King Elessar used to say when he was Aragorn of the Dunedain? "There is always hope!"

Varun said...

:) True, when you quote from the gospel, there is always some hope.

"A light from the shadows shall spring"

Amen.

:)
