overcast skies -
the meteor shower
unseen
**
I first posted this haiku a few years ago, but am reposting it, as last night, we had hoped to go to a meteor watching party but the skies clouded over and the party was cancelled....
Also a few years ago, Dosankodebbie made a beautiful artwork incorporating this haiku, you can see it here.

Boo-hiss to pesky clouds--they always seem to show up just when you don't want them.
Your haiku expresses so much, and yet would be so simple to illustrate-- a cloudy sky! I might give it a try, if you don't mind... :p
...and yet the meteor shower must be going on even in daytime. Still unseen and hidden by sunlight. Apparently it will be at its best tomorrow night, but the clouds are setting in here so I don`t suppose we will see a thing.
What a shame. I would have loved to have seen your meteor shower haiku!
Hi Juliet,
Your haiku is wonderful and really isn't that often the way, when the clouds hinder your view of something special.
Happy week

OH NO! You missed the meteor showers!
At least you got a great haiku out of it Juliet :)
Oh, this is nice!
And, exactly how I missed the last shower.
We missed the meteor showers here too. The clouds do seem to be around when you do not want them.
Missed it too ... but that's OK. I don't even remember how many sore necks I've gotten looking for those things!
Lovely. I like 'unseen showers' :)
The Leonids are very enigmatic, sometimes incredible - every 33 years - usually invisible!
Hi Simon, indeed, those clouds usually get in the way this time of year!
