I know what that's like! Nice, Mary Lee! I'm noticing lots of haiku today.
ReplyDelete"tantrum in the sky" is a perfect description for the kind of weather we've been having! Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLove the term, tantrum in the sky. I hope the storms predicted this weekend don't settle in St. Louis while I am at ILA15. Am I seeing you there, Mary Lee? I couldn't remember what you said. I think I should place this haiku in the Summer Splashings Gallery? What do you think?
ReplyDeleteThe sky has such plasticity and depth of color; you've captured it well!
ReplyDeleteTantrum! Yes! I will now always think of it this way - thank you...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, and a bit scary too. Our weather has not been the usual this year. Best wishes with your mother, Mary Lee.
ReplyDeleteI love "tantrum in the sky." A perfect description of a summer storm on the prairie! And I love the photograph too!
ReplyDeleteMe too for liking that "tantrum in the sky"! It was always disconcerting to see it rolling in when we lived in the midwest.
ReplyDeleteWell put! Happy Friday!
ReplyDeleteExactly right: "Tantrum in the sky." Hope you haven't had to endure too many of these!
ReplyDeletePerfectly describes our weather last night--the boiling on the rooftop kept me awake!
ReplyDeleteA tantrum, indeed. Sometimes soft showers are welcome when the temps rise to 100 degrees.
ReplyDeletePerfection! Love your use of tantrum!
