Crystal drops just keep falling
Grey cascades over the clear blue skies
Dance freely with the wind

    Love the words and thought

    I just finished studying the haiku form. It is done with a 5-7-5 syllabic count rather than 5-7-5 word count. Try this as a possibility.

    crystal teardrops fall,
    cascading heaven's sweet love,
    dancing sky to earth

    Thank you for entering my short poems contest. I see from your comments that this is your first haiku. You have captured the essence of the haiku, but you need to look at your syllable count.

    Calming drops of water
    Rapidly falling like tears
    Sway with the wind

    This is very nice for your first haiku, you should be proud of it. You have captured the rain and the wind, the feelings in this haiku. Well done.

    well done and I loved the middle line ~ rapidly falling like tears!!! - I don't know if you were going for the variations of haiku with the line syllable count you did or if you were attempting the standard 5-7-5 syllable count and if so your count is 6-7-4. many blessings always xx
