December Haiku Share
We’ve done summer rain, now it’s time to share a haiku, tanka, or haiga about winter rain, streetlights, reflections, pavement, dawn, rain in general, or winter in general.

December Haiku Share
A few housekeeping items. Please let me know how you would like your name to appear with your haiku, if it is NOT the same as the name with which you left a comment. And I’d be happy to add a link to a blog, website, or twitter or Facebook handle– I’ve been picking them off the comments when I can. Finally, if you spot any errors (I’m doing this all through cut and paste, and wrestling with WordPress for formatting), please let me know so I can fix them. This includes hyperlinks that point to the wrong place! I’ve been proofing things the best I can, but still, errors can creep in….
Onto the next prompt. I would be totally remiss if I didn’t include at least one haiku with rain. This is Portland, after all.
lamb’s ear
the softness
of summer rain
Daily Haiku- Cycle 13, August 2012
Suggested themes: herbs, summer flowers, summer (in general), the sense of touch, or of course, rain. If you missed the initial post, click here to read about the month long haiku challenge I am holding right here on my blog this December.

2012 November PAD Chapbook Challenge- Day 10
Another very creative prompt today, by guest prompter Linda Hofke– one I intend to come back to again when I have more time: “use a foreign word in the title of your poem or in your poem”
waking
to the sound of rain
toujours la même chose
“Rain” is a winter kigo. More poetic responses can be read on the Poetic Asides blog.
lamb’s ear
My fourth (and final) week of being a Daily Haiku Cycle 13 contributor. Please follow along!
lamb’s ear
the softness
of summer rain
I love the feel of Lamb’s ear leaves. I was thinking of that, as I penned this haiku at the beginning of summer, when it was very rainy. Lamb’s ear also has the unfortunate characteristic of becoming somewhat invasive, so with great reluctance, I finally dug it out of my herb garden to make room for some of my other plants. I may attempt to grow it again one day, knowing now that it needs to be pruned severely back each year to keep it under control.
