Haiku Monday: RAIN

Cacophonic skies
unleash God's torrential tears.
Damn my metal roof.

Appropriately enough, this week's Haiku Monday hostess and perennial PNW denizen, Miz Boxer, has chosen RAIN as her theme. Head on over to her blog for another spirited contest and puppy porn to boot.

Moi,

You brought back a memory from when I was a very young kid visiting my grandmother in an old stone store. Up in the top floor where everyone slept (the old warehouse area) we were just under that very antique tin roof. Little insulation. With the occasional violent thunderstorm that built at the edge of the big lake, we would get torrential downpours that sometimes included small hail. Deafening!

Your haiku gave me a flashback to that simple time. Thanks.

I love metal roofs but never slept under one, so maybe something to rethink.

Excellent haiku.

"Cacophonic skies" - I've visited the intense weather you can get in your world and love that phrase. Great picture too. Also enjoyed Serendipity's flashback. Here, metal roofs serve as a way to keep moss at bay. Happy Haiku Monday!

Ooooooooo ... I love the sound of rain on a metal roof!
Thunder storms though? Not so much!
hahahaha

Love your Haiku ... "Cacaphonic skies"

"Cacophonous"?

Yours works much better. "Cacophonous" doesn't get that metal roof rat-tat-tat.

I have a galvanized steel cap on my kitchen exhaust fan and when it rains, that's all I hear. The cap is only 8" in diameter. I can't imagine what a whole, uninsulated roof sounds like. Cacophonic I guess.
