A most beautiful haiku! Everything works, from that opening line of 'within rain' and the ellipsis triple dots (of rain) to "just" which acts as a pivot amongst the musicality of the entire scene.
Beautiful, Jo! I love the word “fluted” to describe both the shape of the sound and its woodwind quality. And how the sounds of rain and the wood thrush fit together naturally and musically.

Agreed! It's 'just' right and so much more. It's a brilliant haiku and it does far more, and brightens my day each time I read it.

Lovely haiku — in California we have hermit thrushes and you captured the beauty, transcendence
and lightness of the song coming through the rain!
