The topsoil sizzles. The breeze carried destruction, But the rain, it heals.

What a beautiful and vibrant way to show these transitions in haiku form. I totally lost sight of the haiku and just enjoyed being awash in the moment. BEAUTIFUL poem!
I agree with Naomi. This should have placed. It's spectacular in it simplicity.
Woah, this is underrated indeed! What a brilliant interpretation of ancient scripture. Though you followed the haiku structure, this felt like free verse in how unbound it was. I love the way you worked the elements in. I’m shocked this didn’t place in the challenge.
This was so deep! Brilliant use of imageries! I loved this so much!
