Rain falls all around
Washing away grief and pain
Leaving a rainbow

Author’s Note: This haiku is in honor of the rainbow that showed up after a thunderstorm on my deceased mother’s birthday. It brought a smile to my face, so I thought I’d share it with all of you.

Where's the Glory?
In breaking news, rehabilitated Republican Senator Johnnie Johnson (Pronouns: HE, HIM, HIS) called a press conference from the Men’s room of the New Orleans Louis Armstrong International Airport, Concourse B, across from the Ignatius Reilly’s Lucky Dog stand. The Senator had just returned from a sexual reorientation rehabilitation program in Memphis, TN after being publically disgraced at a Buckee’s Truckstop restroom soliciting sex from an undercover cop three months ago. He is a founding member of the Reformed Christians for Christ, a conservative, pro-family and ex-gay advocacy group. In the spirit of being reborn, Senator Johnson invited reporters to marvel at his plans for a major remodeling of airport bathrooms.

That is a beautiful story.
Just a little reminder that all is well with the world even if it doesn't feel like it at times. Happy birthday to your mom. :)
Rainbows can be beautiful reminders
May your mother rest in peace, Stephanie. Great haiku and photo.
That's beautiful. I bet she was saying hello and that she loves you!
