kepps falling into the river
for days
not a drop seems to matter—
but then

They are simple, yes, but entirely different. I love the rain. Not always, to be fair. But I can find much beauty in it.
a world of raindrops
a fleeting glimpse of myself

The haiku was created on August 30, 2023. It follows the classic 5-7-5 syllable pattern. The visualizations of the poem were made with DALL-E.
The inevitability of rain is one of the most common themes in haiku. Rain has always fascinated me as well, with its behavior that ranges from calm indifference to wild storm, from almost tender delicacy to overwhelming force.
This haiku is a profound and vivid poem that offers interesting aspects both formally and thematically.
Formally, the haiku follows the traditional Japanese structure: three lines with a 5-7-5 syllable pattern. This concise form compels me, the poet, to be precise and clear.
