Deficient Haiku/Stand As Placeholders for Now/'Til I Do Better

You asked for it, John Scalzi:

Faithful snack machine
Sell comfort carbs, get me though
Accounting class stress!

What I need to eat--
For health; for peace in my house--
Is not what I want.

Raindrops came today,
Not enough to say "monsoon,"
But enough for hope.

Difficult problem:
Snacks and nature and meaning
In just one haiku.

I may try again
When sleep and food help my brain
To function again.

Karen

    I think your monsoon came to Iowa.  We've gotten a lot of weird heavy rains.  I guess we get baby monsoons... short insane downpours.  Anyway... I'll try to wish it your way.

    I'd have tried to say that in a haiku, but well...no.
