Cool air from highlands
Envelops meadows below
Heavenly promise
Luxuriant green but
Small creatures magnanimous
in freedom's wild romps
Ruefully crying
Life lost untold destruction
Rare earthquake endured
Note: Recent earthquake on Mount Kinabalu caused 18 deaths
For Chev's CARPE DIEM 754 - meadows

A wonderful little story, with a sad tone, caught in three nice haiku. Earthquakes aren't pretty, but sometimes they bring a lot of new nature .... Even an earthquake, notwithstanding the sadness and harm it brings, can have a positive result on the beauty of Mother Nature.
