Carpe Diem Haiku – rain

Today Carpe Diem prompt is rain, suggest by myself. Of course it rained today, and a November rain is more dark poetry, so let’s start with some summer picture.

I cup my hand and drink

As for November rain, this is how it looked today.

  1. I am enthusiastic about these nice summer- and autumn-rain haiku. I was looking forward to your post for today … well you did great on your ‘own’ prompt. Nice composition. Here it was also a misty and rainy day … and I was longing for summer. Your summer rain haiku was very welcome … a little bit sun on a rainy autumn day 🙂

  2. November and it wasn’t overcast here. The wind has been driving frayed little clouds across the sky. Shortly before arriving at work I had to stop to jot down: Not the chilling wind / It’s the light in autumnal trees / That makes me shiver. But we had rain the last days, so I could also look for some haiku to publish as Carpe diem haiku “rain”, which you had suggested. Thanks! What a prolific topic! And thanks for the “black asphalt mirror”.

  3. I love these lines:
    “my feet are wet
    shadow of the power lines
    hot tea inside”

    Powerful images with a reward…the hot tea inside.
