Late Night Volley

Wrote this whilst out one night listening to classical music intertwined with the sound of a light shower.

One by one

Watery hammers hit strings

Nature's crescendo

Author's Note

As with all my haiku, it still needs to be revised as I'm still very new to the genre.

Very nice concept! Great work choice as well. One note - a traditional haiku is 5-7-5, but who's counting. :)

Thanks! And syllable-counting has always bee a topic of debate in the haiku community. Because traditionally they were 17 onji (symbol sounds) and if we wanted to be accurate English haiku should be closer to 12-14 syllables. But I, like Michael McClintock & many other haiku poets, opt for "liberated haiku" rejecting syllable-counting :)

Very cool!

Aha thanks man :)
