My first impression having read the poem, WOW! A Powerful Poem. Truly, with the word BULLETS and penetrate, this poem's power increases........reading poems we can do that in several ways, but ONE THING we must giove to poems when reading GIVE IT TIME. No time? Don't read, but never hustle, the quality will decrease.

I don't think haiku can get any better than this. Sterling imagery.

What a loveliest haiku the 5-7-5 format. How very interesting is this haiku. A most deserving haiku from the great poetess. Thank you so much for sharing this most important haiku about the seasonal rain. The plants and all other greens are truly thankful. A captivating haiku. Love reading this haiku time and again.

But they are rubber bullets perhaps, warning green plants to stand firm rain, storm, or hot sun... Good write
