Early Spring Walk

umbrella pops
big gust implosion
robes thrash about

vision blurred
in cold rain mist
glass splatters





the tired monk

    April rain makes for
    a good harvest hereabouts.
    Rain makes good haiku.

    Fortunately rain has no effect on the third eye. Or so I've heard. I'm pretty blind on a clear day.

    Lovely thoughts of rain, her tears feeding the grounds below, bathing the world.

    Perfect! Reminds me of the days when I wore glasses, wishing I had windscreen wipers when it rained! After contacts - the unusual feeling of rain on that usually untouched part of my face!

    We've all experienced that 'big gust implosion' at some time. Nice one.
