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.

Autumn Rain [Haiku]

wet yellow leaves
stick to the sidewalk
after Autumn rain.

Lanterns [Kyōka]

rows of lanterns —
a jack-o-lantern patch —
lights the temple
on a dark, rainy night;
rain splats on a tin roof.

Riverbed Reveal [Haiku]

gray day river --
the exposed riverbed
 shows only by tracks

Cloud Ceiling [Haiku]

cloud touches hill
 as if it's resting on it.
  smell of spring rains.

Midsummer Masquerade [Haiku]

rainy summer day
 masquerades as early spring,  
  while noon plays dusk.

What the Grass Loves [Haiku]

a cold, rainy day,
but the green grass thrives --
well-watered / air fresh

Rainy Day Surprise [Haiku]

one foot hits puddle.
cold water stings my mind
through a squishy sock
