Ciao Sugarray!
First of I hope you are okay .. I miss your poetry.
I love the sound of water. When it s a peaceful stream it s soothing when it s a cascading thunder it thrills me.
Beautiful art choice.
The pitter patter sound instead makes me dreamy.
When I was age 13 at my boarding school in Montreux, a musician came to play music with crystal glasses.
Each glass was filled with a different amount of water that way each glass made a different sound when he moved the tips of his fingers around the rims.
The sound / songs he composed were beautiful.

Hello sweet Franca. Thank you for your wonderful review. I have been so distracted by Life that I haven't felt like writing poetry, but I will pick up my pen again very soon. I also love to hear the music that can be made when water is in the glasses... like you said, it sounds dreamy. Thanks again.

Melissa,
This is true of waterfalls. They are the loud natural sound flowing water makes. Though some waves can be loud too.
Nice artwork accompanying the poem.
Congratulations on the milestone post.
Keep writing and stay healthy

You are most kindly welcome, Melissa. I share you love for waterfalls. I don?t
think length matters as long as the quality is there.

Comment from Debbie Pope
This haiku deserves a six star rating because of the first two lines. I like how you combine the senses of hearing and sight. Your sounds flow like water. You create such an unexpected image.
Your poem is artfully crafted and unique. I loved it.

Hello Debbie. Thank you. Haikus can be a real challenge for me as I wrestle with word placement and that satori that needs to be an 'aha' moment. Thank you, sweet friend, for your lovely review.

Beautiful artwork choice. Congratulations on your artwork choice. It looks very dynamic, with the cascading water. Congrats on your 1000th post. I have 170 more to go before I reach mine! "Cascading thunder" is a great description. It leads beautiful third line that it is the song of water. Best of luck in the contest. judi
