Haiku Vomited Verses

gray clouds floating now
raping rainbows killing souls
blue birds not singing

Cloudy overcast sky today
Oh where is the sun?
I miss the rainbows and the birds darting gleefully
Even the birds are low key depressed
Not a single song sung
At least black birds can rise above the clouds
to hear an angel sing gold notes
shadowy clouds darken the mood
Who would embrace the gray day 
It is not even raining gloom
Which is beautiful in its own way
Come back lemon sunshine
or come fast blue heart of mine
I know this is a part of fall
I even welcome white rain
For clouds that seem a pregnant pause
Today devoid of natures gain.

Dark clouds, heavy with rain tend to make us sad. Unfortunately, they are necessary as the rain makes every thing grow.

Volcanoes erupt, lightning strikes, thunder rumbles, and haikus vomit. Who am I to argue?!! lol. Interesting angle here, Karen! :) gw

Hahaha! Haikus are not my strength so I figured I would experiment. Hugs Gershon!

Great change from the usual Haiku! Wow! The verses below it are really honest, I love them..nothing like a poet that tells it like it is…that would be refreshing …you!you.I loved that artistic line,” it is not even raining gloom.,. Congratulations on a fantastic write filled with expression. Pangie x
