Great job with the prompt. The first two line are grammatically connected with good concrete imagery. I totally love the aha, satori line, as it ties in the the dirty screens of the first line.

This has good concrete imagery with the curtains billowing in past the dirty screens. Good luck to you in the contest, Jeanie Mercer

A highly effective haiku that resonates with the reader. The dirtiness of the 'screen' is contrasted with the cleansing effect of the rain. The sibilant alliteration of 's' , soft 'c' and 'sh' creates a soundscape to accompany the visual picture that you describe: the reader can almost hear the hissing of the rain. This is an impressive haiku that shows good command of the form and a pleasing satori line. Well done. I wish you well in the competition.
