Penelope is an unknown quantity at this point
deluge - haiku

tropical bluster
snow melts under the pressure
slides down ridges

WOW Pen,
this poem invokes powerful and frightening images.
I've never been and hope I will never be in an avalanche.
Nature sure has it's force that cannot be toyed with.

Good one Pen, blast those hot winds, melting me this week. I sure this is crazy, but I also got an impression of a blustery but loveable person melting the icy stance of a cranky one. huni.

Pen,

You did exactly the right thing!! Stating simply a catastrophic event, giving it weight without being wordy.

Loved it!

This is a true haiku based on the wet wet wet weather we're having right now. Avalanches inland and mudslides on the soppy coast. Thanks for the insight!
