Haiku for April 20th: April Nonsense

On Monday, I posted some haiku with the word "rain" in them.  Out of 125 haiku, nine had the word "rain"; these are the ones that made the most nonsense to me:


Realize and west,
and rain going to say to
beanfield, log beanfield.


Prince lying not smooth.
Her midwinter in the with
rain after a ice.


Wear divorce court, she--
mosquito's cow mosquito's,
cow the once rain, the


On Monday we had the great line, "Heat-- bodies, eyes, head, taste on--". With common words, Poesytron has a lot to work with when putting together a line.  But with uncommon words, such as, say, "mosquito's," there isn't much to work with--which is why we end up with "mosquito's cow mosquito's cow."  This is why I'd like to expand the input haiku--instead of just 500 haiku, I'd like to eventually have a database of thousands.
