Rain Haiku by Joshua St. Claire

Ali Ramazan Çiftçi



Rain Haiku


all day rain

now that I no longer know

you


raising their hands

to the rain

skeleton elms


a rain squall extinguishes

the cherry blossoms

                     …petrichor 


alone

in the circumference

of rain 


rain lash

seven pelicans

right into the storm 


scars

rains slashes

the window


storm over the Atlantic rains dissolve the horizon


acute angles

a southern gale blasts long mountain

with rain


bitter tea

sinking down

in all day rain


all there is rain on rain
