Ripples [Haiku]

through a window:
first ripples of a Spring rain
seen on a pond.

The Fray [Lyric Poem]

Rainy December day
blows in - not long to stay.
From season to season,
without any reason,
sometimes we feel the fray.

Bald Mountain [Haiku]

Spring rains stalk up
behind a bald mountain;
a brown flood flows.

NETHERLANDS LIMERICK

There was a sweet girl from the Netherlands
who worried the hard rains might never end.
When street became moat,
She traded bike for boat.
At canal-surfing she became a veteran.

Ripple Chaos [Haiku]

raindrops ripple paddy water; 
wavelets wrap into grain stalks.

Mud [Haiku]

Spring rain for days:
grass is green & thick;
the mud, soft & thin.

Rain Dance [Haiku]

ripples dance
on a flooded paddy
as rain starts, slowly.

Rainy Day Graveyard [Free Verse]

Rainy day
Graveyard:

Green grass
Glistens
Between row on row
Of low gravestones.

Droplets dash
Against the marble
And against
The brass plaques --
Silently.
Though a steady patter
Of drips on leaves
Sings through.

A poncho-clad figure
Walks through the
Sprawling war memorial ---
Alone.

Patter [Haiku]

sparse patter
on leaves outside the window:
half-hour after rain.
