Red Begonias
A grey rain falls in great drops
Tears into red clay

That's the kinds from your eyes, not the verb btw. Anybody here grok Florography?

Gracious do folks still grok? haven't read that story in years and years, though it was a staple in my library. Your meaning is vividly clear, a wonderful moment. Thank you

okay.. once again I show my ignorance... what is grok(ing)? sounds like a really old word, so that excuses us down here... we are after all only 200yrs old :)).....alice

alice...grok is a slang word meaning "understand"..."Florography" i have not heard before, though i tend to think it has to do with flowers, am i way off base? Author, i love the haiku, very vivid imagery. ~Q~

Didn't know either words were real. Just thought they were both made up. Yet agin I have learned something new from these pages....m4r

do yourself a favor some rainy day and pick up a copy of Robert Heinlein's "Stranger in a Strange Land", the source of the word grok.
A wonderful tale. grok means to understand something so thoroughly it becomes a part of you ·····robbynl
