Rainquake

Rains for the third day Non-stop. This road we travel Is a cold panic. A scattered glimmer From far draws up as a ship, Passes as a truck. There is this rainbow Of sorts. O! it’s a lonely Woman in blue dress. Deserts on the sides. A mirage of inverted Images, it’s like. Life is what buoys up As vision in the lava, Chill, of this rainquake Note: Five haikus make up this write.

Good morning, Jag...I didn't have to search to long to find this "word invention" poem of yours...It is a dandy as it has some striking images. I read thru the comments and see that others were equally impressed with this rainbow of haiku! Wonderful ingenuity here, friend. Just wonderful! LThe road we travel is a cold panic" is my fav!.... Still digesting your May poem and all that it entailed...moved me deeply. All the best to you for a fabulous day. Gwendolen :)
