I admit to selecting more (and more) words to complete this magnetic poem.

on sidewalk
spitter – spat – spatter
on windowpane
beads drip
from
clothesline
baubles drop
from
leafed vine
gutters gurgle
cheerily
rivulets burble
merrily
umbrella unfolds
earthworm unholes
birdsong stills as
rain gauge fills
lightning tumbles
thunder rumbles
cloudburst pours
find shelter indoors!

Sharing with dVerse…fits earlier prompts for list poem and sensory play.
hope smells
like fresh petrichor
of welcome spring rain
hope tastes
like first juicy tomato
of sun-ripened summer
hope sounds
like migration call
of swan o’er autumn field
hope feels
like flickering flame
of log in winter hearth
For in this hope we were saved. Now hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for what he sees? But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience.
(Romans 8:24-25 ESV)

intermittent rain
old lovers exchange warm kiss
under umbrella
pit, pit, patter of raindrops
two hearts offbeat together

Theme at Carpe Diem Haiku Kai is “power of words”: let the rain kiss you
“Let the rain kiss you. Let the rain beat upon your head with silver liquid drops. Let the rain sing you a lullaby.” ~Langston Hughes
pack to go camping
forecast predicts rain showers
great sleeping weather

Not sure if this would be considered haiku (nature)or senryu (human nature).
moonlight stirs crazy
work late against chance of rain
farmer digs darkness

Painters and poets learn by “copying” (imitating style of) the masters!

rain falls silently

in haiku series Tags: daughter, palm trees, princess, rain, summer
At Carpe Diem Haiku Kai, Chèvre challenges us to use these 12 words in order (one per line) in a haiku series (like 12 hours in full circle of clock): 1. summer 2. princess 3. willow 4. oasis 5. palmtree(s) 6. camels 7. cruise-ship 8. snow 9. rainbow 10. yellow 11. shrine 12. prayer (or praying)
sultry summer birth
dark-eyed princess baby girl
thin as willow wisp
parents’ oasis
simple hut under palm trees
daughter worth camels
poverty’s cruise-ship
huddle near fire when snow falls
wishing on rainbow
yellow fever strikes
bury princess near old shrine
praying in the rain
