T-shirt: Something Woke Up (dragon and flowers) 

花は振る Hana wa furu 

ヒビ、雨を待つ Hibi, ame wo matsu

なぞ覚めた Nazo sameta

The flowers wave. (or move or undulate as one)

Cracks wait for the rain.

Something woke up.

__________________

It's not a traditional haiku. It does follow the 5,7,5 rhythm.  It's also non-standard Nihongo. However,  Matsuo Basho (1644-1694), the father of this poetry, often used non-traditional Japanese and often did not mention seasons in his beautiful in-the-moment nuances. Also Applicable: “Then something Tookish woke up inside him, and he wished to go and see the great mountains, and hear the pine-trees and the waterfalls, and explore the caves, and wear a sword instead of a walking-stick.” J.R.R. Tolkien, The Hobbit
