rain,
on her face,
the littlest smile

Sweet poem!

For me, this beautiful Haiku can go in two directions: either it is the "smile" that the rain brings on a small child (like my newborn grandaughter...proud grandpa) or it can also be a personification on a small flower and the joy of an April shower. Jim, with barely six words, you have indeed captured that rare and elusive "Zen moment." I must "exalt"...but where in tarnation is the exalt button?!...oops, sorry!...LOL...

Jim

I completely agree with Dreamrr, perfect Zen moment! If this is my Dear friend Jim from the other forum....

Love ya,
C

I saw it not as the smile of a child but the subtle smile of someone older, an affirmation of life in the face of many winters.

Either way, my exalt finger is itching like an amputated limb.

reminds me too, of those that are lost.
