Feb 2022 folk melancholy short hykus simple weather
I wrote this as 4 hykus for the verses, just to see what happened. And this did
So heavy with rain
Clouds move swiftly in the sky
Drop their loads again
The wind increasing
Threatening death and despair
Pity the poor birds
Promise of sunshine
Tomorrow yet to come
To lift our spirits
Traffic noise subdued
Muffled by the heavy rain
A silver lining

Short and sweet! Not sure I would have picked up on the Haiku form if I hadn't read the notes, but I like the idea and it worked well!

This is wonderful! The only critic I got: it is too short! Would be nice if you start again with the first haiku or repeat the last.
Great work!
