punctuation
I wrote ten haiku this morning that all started with the line “rain all night.” (It rained all night.) I didn’t like most of them very much. The one above was the one I liked the most. Here are a few of the others — if you like one of them better (or at all), feel free to let me know. And why.

muffles early birdsong
silence in my dreams
rain all night
dreams fill up
with oceans
rain all night
is this what
drowning feels like
rain all night
throat so dry
I can’t swallow
