Our courier organiser Rosy has told me that all of September is going to be wet, wet, wet so to get you in the mood here are some traditional Japanese poems about rain.
4 Haikus about rain
Portrait Painted By Rain
Liquid diamonds drop,
The juicy green grass glistens
In age-old beauty
Hesitance
Liquid diamonds cling
To the leaves green tips in vain –
Fate has plans for them.
- Melanie Bartelt
Haiku on Rain
Gray clouds race above
Driving slanting sheets of rain
Buffeting the land
Steady autumn rains
Slowly drain color from earth.
It is a sad time.
- Paul Kester
The rules of a haiku are three lines with 5, 7, then 5 syllables.

A haiku about rain in Middlesex Street for you
Bundles of wet cardboard trip
Clients at our front door
They save the planet as they fall

A grouchy haiku from someone who is clearly in need of a holiday…
This persistent rain
Has put me in a bad mood.
Damn the wet weather!
