Rain Haiku(s)- August 15

Trees gently console
the sound of rain ripped in two~
commuter rushing
…

That harder dribble
through the broken eavestrough gash
makes rain percussion

…

The odd piercing cry
cuts delicate morning rain
likely drenched Blue Jays

——————————————————–

All it took was hearing the sound of the rain this morning to get my mind to flip into haiku mode. There was so much sound coming from what at first was a hard summer rain. This subtlety shifted several times from a beautifully mesmerizing sound where there was absolutely no bird sounds… to my hearing this interesting dribble from the eavestrough. Incredible… And every so often a car would disturb this serene scene… Tearing though this delicate rain sound as if tearing it in two. People rushing to work on a dark rainy morning. Then a rumble from the thunderstorm passing through, not too close but still audible. The silence grew and then was replaced by gentler rain, and the return of the bird cries, Blue Jays seeming to object to the rains persistence. How to capture all of this?
