English #frapalymo: Play Suspended

yellow tennis ball lying on clay court by net

Tennis paused—players
exit heavy clay. Rain falls in
northern France—again.

frapalymo

Written for Frau Paulchen’s Lyrik Monat, which translates from German to Mrs. Paulchen’s Poetry Month. Today’s prompt is: “write an acrostic with ten”

I write this haiku as I wait for tennis to resume from yet another rain delay at the French Open.

Let me know I'm not talking to myself.
