The beautiful image has been aptly portrayed by Julie in the haiku. The word phrase 'drenched in delight' sounds musical.

Children love splashing about in the rain – they don't care if their clothes get wet, and so they shouldn't. Childhood is a carefree time and this haiku shows us that. It's also very visual and easy to hear the splash as the car drives past. Lovely, Julie.
