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

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.
