As the continuous rain trickles from the roof and the gentle breeze stirs the wind chimes to play tunes, a bird warbles chere, chere, to a lady friend who answers cheer.The rain is cold and uninviting to humans but birds must ignore such a small inconvenience to love affairs and courtship.
in the distance a truck's motor hums rain 'pon the road sings
Their chirps to each other get closer. One has moved into the Holly Bush about ten feet closer to the one bird in the Pear Tree. The gentle breeze blows cold mist from the rain upon the old lady in the rocker out on the porch. She shivers and writes a few more words in her notebook..
gentle breezes touch silent wind chimes metal pipes a love affair starts
The poet retreats into the warm, dry and comfortable home. She thanks God for a few minutes to enjoy the creation and the creator..
aromas of food cooked for lunch lingers in silent rooms

I'm unfamiliar with "haibun," so I learned something because your poem is so engaging.
