Late Monsoon
Haiku

High cold West wind blows
Heavy rain from the North falls
I lie sick in bed

The voice of rain,
Echoed by wind, is a hushed song;
I listen, and I sleep.

With me, a tender form,
Cuddling close and sharing warmth;
Slumber, then, is deep.
Nature haiku in Japanese traditional style.
02-08-2015 Update with two more stanzas and an internal rhyme of Classical Western poetry added. How's that?

Nice piece of haiku, syllable count perfect. I hope you are feeling well and not sick in bed?
