Rainy Season: Haiku July 2024

Square

Rainy season has officially ended in Tokyo. While summer can be grim here, rainy season for me is even grimmer. It’s peak migraine season
for starters. I swear I have a seasonal cognitive slump every rainy season.

That’s reflected in the quality and focus of the haiku drafts on my phone. I’ve done nothing but make haiku about puddles and storms…

 

fresh puddles

the squeak

of froggy boots

 

clearing skies

the dog

finds every puddle

 

June storm

the air pressure and my mood

both plummet
