Glorious gray gloom
Glorious gray gloom
Drizzle downpour deluge drip
Bicycling bravely
If I'm remembering right, this was the last Bike Commute Haiku that got communicated to my father before he reached a point where it was too much to try and engage via Zoom, back in February of 2019. My mom encouraged me to read it to him over the computer, although it was becoming clear that sounds were becoming increasingly painful as he got closer to death. At that point, moving him from bed to wheelchair had become a two-person project, with a belt around his chest as a moving aid.
I think about this haiku often, especially on rainy bike commute days. It is one of my favorites out of all of the bike commute haikus I've come up with.
This has been a fairly dry winter here, so I'm grateful for every overcast, rainy day.
