Let us dive into a special kind of rain this time. Enjoy some rain Haiku. Haiku is one of the most important modes of Japanese poetry.>>Matsuo Basho
>Spring rain
leaking through the roof
dripping from the wasps' nest
>From now on
a nameless traveller;
winter's first rain.
>>Shiki Masaoka
Night; and once again,
the while I wait for you,
cold wind turns into rain.
>>Soen Nakagawa
>Sound of mountain
sound of ocean
everywhere spring rain.
>Soft spring rain-
since when
have I been called a monk?
>>Vic Johnson
The clouds bring sadness
Sadness because the sun's gone
Rain filled with sorrow
>>Richard Lawrence Cohen
>Rain on my windshield.
What a small thing a life is:
pages, photos, tears.
>Picking up the kids
early on a rainy day
is all we can do.
>Halloween downpour:
Costumes under umbrellas.
“I’m scared of thunder.”
>>Daniel Trent
>up to my wrists
in the washing up bowl -
watching the rain
>a sliver of moon
rain on the dormer window -
summer evening
>rain speckles
the dusty window -
mid-summer
>>Morten Paulsen
An island song
Like a floating river
Rain Rain Fall Fall
>>Jack Kerouac
>After the shower
among the drenched roses
the bird thrashing in the bath.
>Snap your finger
stop the world -
rain falls harder.
>>Ed Brown
A gentle rain settles the dust.
A cool refreshing breeze cleans the air.
Breath absorbed breath.
The ancient sand castles are nowhere to be found.
