"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.

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.

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, and miss them terribly here in So Cal... We have them only very rarely... less than once per year on average. :(
