Mid-February Haikus

On Wednesday I commuted by bus. You would think that a non-rainy day would mean a less clogged commute. You would think wrong. So out came the pad of paper for a few haikus.

Another gridlock.
Even express lanes are slammed
On Interstate 5.

An off-leash dog park
Halfway up Capitol Hill.
Never noticed it.

Leave home when it’s dark.
Get home, and it’s dark again.
Seattle winter.

Today on the drive home I heard that the rainfall this winter set a record.

Yo, El Niño!
Reservoirs are full.
Snowpack is above normal.
Now can the rain stop?
