The Downpours!



 Autumnal downpours
Earth’s thirst, quench and makes her drench.
Food-paucity, prevails.

 Velvety Grassy green land, 
Trees beautify  with shady designs.
Foliage welcomes drizzle.

Coconut as nature’s sceptre
Stands straight-erect among reeds and rushes.
Gales and rains break royalty. 

Yokels under trees, yonder
Rest and chat with peace in mind.
Drizzles sprinkle  joy.

  2. That is a great attempt !
    If I may give a suggestion - how about using crisper sentences and avoiding repetition of similar words (velvety grassy greenland, foliage, trees)
    This will make the haiku even more beautiful and help you maintain the syllable count of 5-7-5 as well !

    1. Thank you for the suggestion.I mean here the shade of trees fall as designs on grassy velvet.Then I connected the foliage with rain.
