Rain falling as mist
mutes the everyday mundane;
new leaf growth, singing.

i like the ideas here

but 'falls' rather than 'falling'

avoid the alliteration - replace 'mutes' with 'softens' and take out either 'everyday' or 'mundane'

last line
'but the new leaves singing'

i know it messes up the 575.

But what do I know?? almost nothing

Best wishes

David

I like this one, Rachel. Would you consider relinquishing 575? It was hard for me to accept that a "true haiku" wasn't a prescribed syllabic form, but my poems are better for it, I think.

You have good poetic voice that will really sing, freed from all that counting.
