heavy rain falling
our friendly creek overflows
we load up the car

Ah …. love this haiku! I’m reminded of our tent-camping days when our children were young. Many a time we broke camp and packed up in the rain. 🙂 Always made for much quicker packing, that’s for sure! 🙂

What a wonderful thought – a friendly creek! Now I want to know what you loaded in the car and where you were going!

Ah, I love the contrast between the friendly creek and the need to get out fast! So much packed into 3 short lines.

That friendly creek must be dangerous during an overflow.

Live/camp near water at your own risk these days. You say a lot in just a few words.

We had flooding in May. Still dealing with the after-effects in some places. It isn’t a pretty thing – all that brown, churning water. I’m glad you thought to speak to this side of rain.

I love reading and writing haiku … yours is perfect. I have had to flee for higher ground a few times in my life.
