"A change in the weather is sufficient to recreate the world and ourselves."
- Marcel Proust -
I'm a sucker for poetry contests.
Our friend, @vdux, is running a new haiku contest.
Another VDux Contest!
This time around, @vdux's challenge is to write a haiku about nature.
Weather frustrates us.

One of nature's most prominent features is weather.
We are always surrounded by it. We discuss it endlessly. We watch news reports about it...
But, what can't we do?
We can't seem to change it...

Weather or Not

Weather frustrates us.
We either love or hate it,
but we can't change it.
Love It or Hate It

P.S. If you have an "in" with anybody at Steemit, Inc. - Would you please ask them to get rid of these damn, extremely annoying "off-website" arrow/boxes? The have, overnight, made Steemit ugly. There are much better solutions.

Thank you, friend...

Thank you very much for the information dear friend, did not know this site until today. For these details like yours, is that I am delighted to participate in steemit.
Seems we both wrote poems about the weather lately...feeling elemental, perhaps?
"Elemental, my dear Watson..." ;)
Sorry, just watched "Elementary" this evening, a TV series about Sherlock Holmes in NYC... ;)

Very cute. I can't change the weather but I can stay inside, close all the windows, and pretend unsettling weather doesn't exist. I usually hate weather like sun and love weather like blizzards.
I love thunderstorms... We don't get enough of them here in Southern Cali... ;)
That is a strong Haiku and i most enjoyed it whether or not others did. LOL. Blessings @creatr.
Thanks, Troy. :D
Oh the climate change folks are going to flag you LOL!!!
Hahahahahaha! :D
We are having a bit of weather here - summer thunderstorms are just breathtaking to enjoy.
I love thunderstorms, and miss them terribly here in So Cal... We have them only very rarely... less than once per year on average. :(
