Unfortunately this poem had too many syllables. Your first line had six. A common mistake with Haikus. Better luck next time

I've lost my way

We are currently undergoing a storm here in the Netherlands.
My favorite weather, I love it!
Sadly, nature is paying it's toll though,
hence, this weeks Haiku, enjoy:
🌳 Fallen trees 🌳
Mother nature weeps
her children bow to their knees
as silent victims..

Title - Wet
Kisses in the rain,
God's shower of approval,
Getting twice as wet.
Very nice haiku... we liked it.
Good LuckWelcome, @barrister-batman
joy abounds with ease
causeless, uninterrupted
the tide flows always
Super... we really enjoyed this Haiku poem.
Good LuckWelcome, @enlyten
Thank you for having these competitions; it was such a pleasure to write and share
Such comfort is found
Lay here on the blood soaked ground
No one left around
I know they don't have to rhyme, but is just happened that way. Thank you very much for giving me the opportunity to turn some wayward wanderings into a haiku!
