Wednesday Haiku No 24

 Thunderstorms are rocking the area and we are due for rain for the next several days.
It was hot as blazes today but cooling down again, thank goodness. I really don't like the heat at all especially when it is humid.
I am sitting here listening to the storm. I like the sound of the rumbling thunder and the rain beating against the windows and the air conditioner. I like these sounds.



          

                Contrary Willed

Struggling to walk against this windy rain,
My wild umbrella drives me back again.
---Shisei








                         Evening Lantern

 Lighted still, in all this rain,
the lantern lights
my dripping window pane.
                            ---Ann











On Izumo Cliff

Arching above the wild and gloomy sea,
Far out to Sado Isle---The galaxy.
---- Basho






I hope you enjoyed the haiku this week as much as I enjoy posting them.

  1. Learning to dance in the rain...I have had plenty of that lately, sigh...how true is that saying? (it is, by the way)

    Hope you have a lovely day regardless of the weather, my friend. It has finally stopped storming here.

  2. Such lovely thoughts on a rainy day! WE have had rain here too the past couple of days. Today we are seeing some sunshine mixed with little showers, but we expect the rain to stay around throughout the next week. We need it, so I won't complain. I love these quotes today...they suit my feelings as well...
