Inspiration strikes in Berwick - my day as haiku

I don't know much about poetry, and less about the noble Japanese concept, but here goes anyway...

Train
A duo of baronesses
Leaflets and rain
The sting of hail
Kindly old lady and her view
Fiona and her car
Alnwick
More rain
Canvass cards slightly damp
Alan Beith
Sunshine on the Castle
Seagulls

Polite suggestion from the 17.29 Newcastle-London East coast mainline wifi service on 12th April:
A haiku has 17 syllables exactly.
Stick to the day job!

Isn't it 5-7-5? Let me try my day.

Leaflets in inner
London. No Lib Dems winning
here. Boris v Ken.
