Dark Rain

Dark storm clouds rotate
tumbling like the angry seas
evoking dark rain

Thunder rolling clasps
lightning whips across gray skies
clouds release dark rain

I don't see Gene Kelly dancing and singing to this downpour. But, Vincent Price? He would love your wonderful, spooky deluge. Love, Dave

Ps. ~ I noticed that I used the word "Always" within "Your Beauties" last flowers fragrant com box my dear; hmmm, maybe it means something like perhaps, "Always" ~ Smile ~

Smile ~ I love the pretty little bird it seems as that "Your Beauty" paints amid the bottom of "Your Treasures Creations;" almost like a signature; "Very Lovely" ~ Also, "Thank You," for Always being "Sooo Beautiful" within "Your Brightness'" sweet coms; "Always A Joy" ~ "My Love & Warmth to 'You Always' &, All You Love, 'Forevermore,'" John! ~ Smile, allow myself to go view but another one of "Your, Splendours 'Magnificent Brushings!'":) ~ On we go....

Smile ~ This makes myself consider the day of "Christ the Messiahs" crucifixtion and the veil of the Temple torn and the earthquake and the darkened skies and, a few Dreams I have had; very reflective poe "My 'Dear, Precious & Priceless Annalise Brigham!!!'" ~ The storm of the century or perhaps, the millenniums; brushed in darker hues to capture the ominous nature of the Powers which be; almost a prophetic feel about its canvas' charcoal black my dear; "Excellently Picturesque" ~ ....Cont:)

Annalise, you've just captured one of the top spots in my eyes with this Haiku gem. It reads as if I'm watching a complete storm being created, emerging and hitting with it's mighty power. Double smiles for this one. Have a wonderful weekend....:):)
