Save It For A Dry Day

Could be a haiku or senryu, depending on how you interpret it.

 

When it rains on you

Save it in a vase for when

Your flowers run dry.

I think this is really smart. Kind of a glass half full with a twist.

Dale this is great and definitely open to interpretation! Great job on this one, I kind of interpret it both ways, depending on how you look at it!

Thank you sweet Sye, I,like creating poems that can have many meanings.

I'm going to interpret this as a senryu, since it seems to state a philosophy.

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Thanks Marie :))

This is clever! It reminds me of a song I wrote way back about how "the bitter makes the sweet taste so good". I love this, Dale! xo :)

Really, would love to hear it.

Thanks Maddy

very clever senyru...rain is a good thing, and much needed at times...good to save some of that water.

but this is also an allegory...when the love rains on you, save the feelings...because there will be times we will feel quite unloved...and that is when we will need the reserve.

Thank you sir for sharing you deep insight.
