Coming in a trance,
Tragedies take place in flocks,
Not much can be done.
All of a sudden,
Nature manifests its power,
Winds howl, raindrops prowl.
So little being done,
So much for me to do,
Pardon me, sweet you.
I make many choices,
Yet when tornadoes show blues,
I lose voices and clues.

Happy Memorial Day! Prayers to Those who Suffered or Died during natural disasters or wars!

Tragedies take place in flocks. How true this has been this season. Your poems stand out in the crowd, Jingle. Blessings to you…
Not much can be done….seriously how true!! I like the way you used a couple of prompts in the same verse..very creative and meaningful to the current times…My favorite line?? ‘I lose voices and clues.’
I love haiku! Nicely done!
Not much one can do about the weather…enjoy what one can.
nature and us..nature in us…!
We live to life’s whimsy! Happy potluck. Thanks for the visit and picked up on your positivity on my blog today. Happy Monday!
Hello Jingle.
You were very creative to combine all the prompts.
We are all at nature’e mercy.
So much truth in your words.
Another nice one from you.
Brilliant – so cleaver of you to combine all the prompts. I’ve taken a shining to haiku too but you’ve proved my better as I couldn’t do it for the carry on tuesday.
Nice dedication for those in memory, Jingle!!
I really loved the haiku. So much to do …

Beautiful words but equally fearful reality… 🙂
This is very nice Jingle!

Hey where has my comment gone?
Beautiful words but equally fearful reality!
I love how you rendered the prompt!
Missed you Jingle,
LOve Amity 🙂
A lovely set of haiku; I can’t do it myself – too naturally verbose, I suppose.
ALL THUMBS UP!!! good work and amazing haiku as usual
Nature manifests its power..lovely Haiku. tQ
I love the connection between storms and life. May we all have gentle showers instead of torrential downpours.
It’s unfortunate we are at the mercy of nature’s wrath at times even as we enjoy its beauty.
All wonderful… I especially like the first one.
Love how you’ve depicted nature as being predatory in the second haiku wonderful
Loved the poetry and art!
Hi Jingle! Long time no see. Hope you are well. Like your haiku…and new theme? Has it been that long?
Take it easy
