Haiku Challeng #6 Rain
The theme is rain, in all its wonderful forms. Write a series of Haikus, perferably more than 3. Haiku are generally written in three lines with a syllable pattern of 5-7-5. Have fun.
“Rainy days and Mondays...”
clammy, cloying mist
envelops, engulfs, enshrouds
shadow-filled, dark, damp
steady pitter pat
on the roof, a rat tat tat
calming, soothing sounds
pounding, blinding sheets
puddle splashing joy-filling
life-affirming cleanse
camouflages tears
spilled, open-mouthed, silent scream
heart drained like the sky
mind slows, stills, quiets
suffering subsides, abates
like evanescing clouds
the gray hides away
ever patiently waiting
one more rainy day
