Welcome rain shower –
Adds jewels to the tulips ~
Soon lost to the Sun.


Welcome rain shower –
Adds jewels to the tulips ~
Soon lost to the Sun.
February rain –
Dip in my garden fills up ~
I should make a pond.
Daily lockdown walk –
The creek’s familiar curves ~
The sound of water.
Retracing my steps –
Make it down to the river ~
Different person.
Rain pounds my windows –
A comforting sound at night ~
Except for the leak.
The morning shower –
A slight pause for reflection ~
Warm rain on the ear.
Delicious rain –
As long as you are inside ~
Watching the fireworks.
Thunder a-rumbling ~
Cosy raindrops on my roof ~
Flashing memory
Frogs and Old Pond thoughts –
Try to mouth the Basho sound ~
Seeking resonance.
