Haiku Transit

Sudden rain
Wetness blankets;
Soaking clothes


People scurry
Scarce shelter;
Drenching everything


Rainy day chimes
Taxis taken;
Cold draught shivers


Misty roads
Water puddles surge;
Shoes soaking stains


Winding path
In the murky park;
Muddy waters


Bad weather
Traffic congestion;
Wet road accident


Durians harvest
Hot humid season;
Abrupt downpour


Cold and wet
Drenched skin;
Frozen shivers


Lightning surge
Shocking thunder;
Wet windfall


By this old tree
Shivering cold;
Awaiting salvation


Pregnant rain
Redecorates;
Watery stockpile


On my way home
Heavy downpour
Washes my attire


If only
I expected
Bad weather


Words on paper
Washed away;
By persistent rain
