A cold rain starting
And no hat —
So?
~
drenching me throughout
a cold rain spattering down
clothes cling to body
~
tilted umbrella
drops soaking the plastic face
thunder up above
* The first haiku is written by Basho. And the other two are my own inspired creations.
I like your 2 the best

Isn’t it wonderful that no matter how hot it is, the rain, coming from so far up, is always cool and refreshing on the skin! Love that you reminded me of that feeling in the third poem! Thanks!Tanka Whirl

Am late to comment. Scrolling through past prompts to see if I missed anyone. I like that you did this on your own. I’ve thought of trying that too. Great image and your first creation is my favorite.
