    Black clouds burst to rain,
    raindrops perch on the eyelids
    love infects the air

    ^

    I thought it was good, the only word that made me hmm worry? is infects...

    Infects connotation sounds like harmful. And when I think about it, I thought you might have wanted to say something different.

    Like "love affects the air"

    It sounds more calm. . .

    I love the rain, it's so beautiful and calming. This haiku is a very lovely description.

    A thought...you could make it a bit more personal in a sense by saying something like,"raindrops perch on her eyelids" instead of
    "raindrops perch on the eyelids"

    I don't know if that would really make any difference but from nature-ish perspective it could identify with raindrops perching from the clouds rather than from a human eye and the clouds being referred to as her, like mother nature. In a sense it would have a double meaning. I don't know if that makes any sense, it is quite late here and I tend to babble.

    A lovely piece!! I'm a winter son. I loved the expression "affects the air" it fits in position and makes the poem so inspiring. Thank you for sharing that. I loved it.

    I like when short poems like this convey a message that is much larger. This one certainly does. Great piece!

    Black clouds burst to rain,
    raindrops perch on her eyelids
    love affects the air.

    This feels metaphoric, almost. I can see the obvious natural aspect of it, but it sounds almost like lovers in the rain.

    raindrops perch on her eyelids
    ^This sounded like tears to me, at first glance. And I love how you worded it. It sounds so, strait. I can't find the correct way to work this. It's very proper, old English beautiful, in a way. Maybe I'm over-analyzing, but this is fabulous!

    Short but deep. i like the imagery you used here.i didn't quite understand the last line. it seemed out of place to me. but overall i loved it . darkness is everywhere and i think you portrayed that in this poem.
