Perhaps Another Day

Posted on by curioussteph

Frozen fog morning

Snow possible perhaps sun

Petrichor absent.

 

Petrichor, the smell created by rain occurring on parched land. The word comes from petros, the greek word for stone, and ichor, the fluid that flows in the veins of the gods in greek mythology. As someone who has lived most of my life in a semi arid climate, I understand this. Water is scarce and rain is nearly always welcome and needed. It is a lovely smell.  Thanks for this new to me word, Tracy!

For today’s Ragtag Daily Prompt of Petrichor.

  3. love this. Petrichor is a great word. Snow? not so much. Unless I’m indoors where it’s warm and looking out the window. It’s fun how you have three different kinds of weather present in your haiku

June 2017: I started writing Curioussteph.com with this: By day, I'm a retired family physician turned body-oriented psychotherapist. I garden, travel, am owned by 2 elderly cats, figure skate and am training for my first triathlon. April 2020: Three years later, the two elderly cats have crossed the rainbow bridge, and we now have an 11 year old adoptee, Ziggy. I'm done with triathlon and skating for the time being, and I am still physically active, running, biking and walking. It's now the time of the coronavirus, which is affecting us all.
