Rain haiku – Martina Sylvia Khamphasith

RAIN

lording over
all borders
the towering clouds

first rain drops
burst on the streets –
a heady scent!

rain whispers ...
gliding from one dream
to another

cool rainy air
the scent of jasmine
in my dreams

drizzling rain …
The rice farmer plant
seedling after seedling

leaden sky
the weeds by the rooad
heavenly blue

the rain dropss …
even the bamboo
brakes out in tears

three months of rain –
the doughy earth
smacks and bubbles

steaming asphalt
water returns
to the sky

All day rain
the voice of the gecko
husky

rain patters
the frogs in the rice fields
jump and sing

Splish-splash …
watching the puddle
grow bigger
