Tiny Daisies [Tanka]

tiny daisies
stand still under gloomy skies;
then one shakes
(pelted by a raindrop)
then another, then all

Monsoon Vantage [Haiku]

from a dry hill,
one sees the monsoon rains
slog closer

Rainy Day Waterfall [Tanka]

a rainy day.
we pull over the car,
and get out to look
at the waterfall, up close:
what's spray & what's rain?

Spring Flowers [Haiku]

spring blossoms -
damp from passing showers -
droop, but stay bright

June Rains [Haiku]

house & garden
glisten from a soaking
of June rains

Wu Shih / “Nothing Special” [Free Verse]

a steady rain patters
into puddles
far below

i close my eyes,
listening for a
pattern

but it's chaotic -
 a random rhythm that
tugs at my eyelids,

lulling me into 
a dull state of mind

Wet Winter [Haibun]

The clouds hang gray this mid-winter day, while streets glisten with the watery sheen of rains that never break for long. Wheels roll through, throwing the water into a swish-slosh song. All seems clean, if perpetually dreary. The air looks clear, though some funk clings to one's shoulders as one walks through town, and every scent is compressed in intensity at street level. 

streets glisten,
the city slick from rains
that linger
