2 haikus from laos

The deathride I took last Sunday ((The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly)), the beautiful emerald green ricefields, the laid-back people, and the fact that it's rained everyday this past week has put me in a reflective mood here in the wonderful country of Laos. Here are two haikus for a rainy day in the Laotian countryside.

An Ode to My Once Caked-on Muddy Shoes
washed you four days past
and still you are soaking wet
will you ever dry?

An Open Heart Letter to the Sun
will you please come out?
i need you to dry my shoes
stubbed my toe twice - ouch!
