Three lost haiku

three lost haiku

My records indicate that I wrote three haiku during a holiday to Southport in May 2007, their first lines were:

soaking rain
floodlit hotel
hotel lawn

The first two were composed on 16th May 2007 and the last on 18th May 2007.

All are Unpublished and I've been unable to locate the full texts.
