Petrichor haiku

Lisbon lockdown sound recorded by Girl from the future.

"I was reading Matsuo Bashō 'The Narrow Road to the Deep North and Other Travel Sketches' when it started to rain. 

"This book was a recent gift from my loved one who is living in London. We are now isolating separately. I felt so inspired by this morning rain that I wrote a haiku for him: 

The rain of a Summer to come
and the Spring rain
Together.
My heart is filled with the scent of wet earth."
