Pitch-Dark Rain: Apocalyptic

Pitch Dark Rain: Apocalyptic

vanished polar ice
oceans’ currents all askew. . . .
skylines blaze scarlet

comes a scathing wind
scorching land left not immersed. . . .
waters turn crimson

moans escape parched tongues
prayers ascend to ashen skies. . . .
pitch-dark rain pounds down

this haiku is beautiful, I'm especially taken with the phrase "skyline blaze scarlet". I really like how it is in a series, it flows very nicely. I rarely give a "7" but you got me on this one. Thanks for your comments on my work. Julie
