While reading early this morning...

...this haiku came to me, first in English and then I worked out the Japanese, with a little help on the last line from my co-teacher. It is only the second I have composed in Japanese, but I am eager to try a few more. It is the first time in months that I have wanted to study Japanese...

I have been reading/studying a bit about haiku recently, and I believe this is one of, if not the best, I have written (in any language).


Against the window
Irregular raindrops beat
Echoing thunder

窓がわに
不同の雨滴
春雷の子

Madogawa ni
Fudou no uteki
Shunrai no ko
