A good piece of poetry? - 09-10-2009, 05:04 PM

Hey, can I get some input from some of you more well-read Japanese speakers?

I'm making a motion graphics project for my portfolio and as the context uses photos of buildings in Osaka I've taken, I would like to use a Japanese poem to help along the mood and theme.

The piece is dark and there is heavy rain with lightning. The piece focuses mainly on the interation of rain with the city, and takes time to examine the rain on a close-up level such as perhaps only a piece of the city would be able to see. Therefore I'm looking for a poem involving rain in some way.

I'd like to put one line in between image changes, so that gives room for 5 lines.

This isn't a "hey provide me with some stuff I can't understand cuz I think it'll make my story/body/whatever look cool" thing, because I speak and read Japanese just fine. I'm simply not well-read in the language and am deferring to those of you who are

Ideas?
