Northern or Southern hemisphere? Landlocked or coastal? Temperate or Equatorial? I need more information.

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.

UNITED KINGDOM LIMERICK

White on White [Haiku]

angular granite:
softened by snowfall,
erased by cloud.

Shadow Flowers [Haiku]

clouds break up;
light shifts toward
wildflower patch.

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.

Heron [Haiku]

a heron stalks
amid rice seedlings:
mild Summer day.

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.
