Haikus for a rainy day

Cloudy grey morning
Chilly wind nips at my nose
Yep, it's October

Rain, capricious wind
Colorful fabric mushrooms
Turning inside out

The rain keeps falling
Through capillary action
Up my trouser legs

Cold, muddy, soggy,
Nothing like a good sweater
And some nice warm socks

(No such luck for me
I don't have any clean socks
It's laundry tonight)

(Quite unfortunate,
Shameful predicament
For the Archduchess)

A stack of paper
Clamors for my attention
All of them homework

Perfect fall weather
If only I had some milk
To make hot cocoa

Haiku written with
The word 'yep' in it.
Highly questionable!

If I were to be critical I might question the whole structure of the Haikus including Scriptor's. However as I am not a scholar of Japanese poetry nor indeed of any poetry nor indded a scholar I shall refrain. Having written that I've forgotten what the main point of my comment was to be! So I shall not make one. Certainly notr one in Haiku!

I can never understand how to write a Haiku, so am always impressed by those who do. Lovely collection.

I apologize
For my fallacious word choice.
Poetic license?

Madame DeFarge:
Five, seven, and five
Syllables, artfully writ.
As easy as pie!
