A multilingual rain haiku

Rain. Regen. बारिश.

Pioggia. All day long il

pleut. ¡Para, lluvia!

Note
Let’s hope this multilingual admonishment will help to put an end to the endless rain.

A flash flat character study

Middle-aged woman on a walk with her friend: “And I of necessity take valerian.”

Note
As I was walking along this morning, two women crossed my path, and I caught this fragment of conversation in Italian (“e io per forza prendo valeriana”). Let’s say this is an American sentence with an Italian character in it.
