We recently experienced an unusually prolonged period of rain in Johannesburg, and despite my Mancunian roots, it took its toll on my mood and I was thoroughly fed up with the incessant downpours by the time I wrote these 3 haikus, all with one theme.
1.
Storm clouds that gather
Black as night, threatening to
Release their burden
2.
Rain falls in torrents
From the sodden cloudy skies
Drenching all below
3.
Rain streaks the windows
Rivulets track down the panes
Collecting in pools
