Echoes

Abrupt change
Wet rain pours;
Misty landscape scene

~~~~~~~~~


Roadside kerb
Walkway water puddles;
Splash of speeding cars

~~~~~~~~~


Wet window panes
A thousand droplets;
Random pattern

~~~~~~~~~


Umbrella parade
Wetness everywhere;
Rush for cover

~~~~~~~~~


Jagged lightning
Electric sizzle;
Trees uprooted

~~~~~~~~~


Massive traffic jam
Old giant tree falls;
Two road lanes blocked

~~~~~~~~~


Little people drenched
Colourful raincoats;
Cutesy parasols

~~~~~~~~~


Wetness soaks
Wet shoes busy;
Rainy commotions

~~~~~~~~~


Touch of flu bout
Sniffles and cough;
Sore throat lingers

~~~~~~~~~


Drowsy dizzy feel
Flu hits the roof;
Bedside manners rest

~~~~~~~~~


Blur sensations
Mind groggy here;
Too much medication

~~~~~~~~~


Rainy day people
Stay indoors;
Wetness hurls cold

~~~~~~~~~


Bronchial nuisance
Coughing bout chokes;
Heavy breathing hiss

~~~~~~~~~

Dear Jan: Thank you for your comments. Sure, I will write something more "sunshiny" the next time. Take a look at the pieces titled "Haiku Discrete" written in four parts. You may find these more cheery. :) Leon.
