Sun-Dried Rain
David J Walker
Following the path of
Southwest winds
Carving canyons
Starving clouds and land alike
Making sand of topsoil
As pilgrims pray for rain
staking a claim in blowing dust
In bilingual refrains
of long missed moisture
and drying rust
Sun-dried children cleansed and swaying
on backyard clothes lines
dying for a drop
of Sun-Dried rain
Who will be selected Queen of
This year’s Dust Storm Fest
Flowery snow falls
down to the Earthen grounds white
furry flakes covers
~
snow cold frozen flakes
surrounding grounds covering
white skies clouds and grounds
~
snow falls flowery
frozen white particles rain
winter's dust storm blows

Written words by James Edward Lee Sr © 2020
Lifting from the Millewa;
swirling to the sky,
billowed to the heavens,
each particle drifts high.
Closing down the clearness
in an ever thickening rust,
from dry and harrowed farmland,
swirls the Mallee dust.
DUST STORM AT SUNSET
Walking long on brittle road,
pause awhile with time slowed,
see dusk descends on trail,
veils the adoring faces frail.
On road not travelled yet
dust storm surges at sunset,
twilight hours race, ending fast,
day’s last gale blows past.
Hope, dying light will last
until I rise from dust.

parched barren earth thirsts
unforgiving winds assault

Haiku or Senryu?
African dust storm
stirs red sunsets in her pot
settles on my skin
