Constant Dark Rain, Sturzregen, Aguacero

Pouring from leaden clouds
Flooding houses and gardens
A constant dark rain


Aus bleiernen Wolken
Flut in Häusern und Gärten
Endloser Sturzregen


De nubes plomizas
Inundando casas y jardines
Continuo aguacero

Andrea Dietrich Date: 1/15/2011 1:58:00 PM Gert you should enter this in that haiku contest and just say a constant dark rain to fit in the word dark. Maybe you don't do the contests? Anyway, it is already beautiful how it is! Luv, Andrea Login to Reply

Carolyn Devonshire Date: 1/15/2011 7:42:00 AM Your haiku makes me feel grateful that hurricane season is over until June First. You wouldn't believe the flooding we see here and I love the way you described rain falling from "leaden clouds" as they truly look that way. Your poem also reminds me of the photos you showed me of the rainstorm a few months ago in Germany. Also concur with Catie's suggestion below. (Garden sounds similar in all three languages.)
