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.

Stall: A Haiku Quartet
clouds glide in
like a naval armada,
only to loiter.
the sky is gray,
but no rain comes --
just the threat.
the threat wears thin --
unheeded until
thunder cracks!
a man shakes his fist
at the dense clouds:
a torrent falls.
