Nature Calls

chattering chirpers
rambunctiously racing
                                          fireflies like little lanterns
                                          wee wind and raindrops
luscious leafy lovelies
nine p.m. and uproarious
                                          all this called to me, as
                                          I was doing nothing at all

Along with the thunder

As the smiles in the cloud brighten,
    a cloudburst of joy
  sends gentle kisses on our rooftops,
pouring down clouded tears—
    bottled-up emotions
to quench the thirsts of
    humans, plants, animals... and phantoms.

The trees—
 with feet rooted deep in earth—
  stood humble as a worm.

The birds~
 wings shyly folded to drain the rain—
  could not dry-clean the leak in their nests.

Each drop of the rain 
  carried the smell of the earth,
 as runoffs calmed the fury of a beast
    threatening to devour the landscape—
      along with the thunder.

Then twilight knocks—
       the stream of tears halts mid-flow,
the music stops, as rain pulls up the curb;
    dry rain clutches the biting wind...
to remind us: it's winter not summer.

silent rain

cotton candy trees
welcome straight cold raindrops
meadow is silent

Spring Rain

finger painted sky
dotted star line above trees
as rain falls an owl calls

Inescapable

Tree shields me from the pouring rain,
But there is no escaping my pain.

Haiku 202 tree

threatening black clouds 
solitude mid living world~
grass blades sway in rhythm

Thirsty Plants

heavy rain doth fall
so disliked by nearly all
plants smile standing tall

The Better Choice

Lashed by rain
I sheltered 
beneath
its wind bent
height
in its hurl
of leaves
and whip slap
of bark
against
a huge trunk
below
its creak
and rising
roar
to a sudden
crack
in fear
the better 
choice
would have been
to get wet.

Leaves of August

Leaves of August glisten from the rain
I notice a tinge of color across the ridge
The leaves need moisture to sustain
Leaves of August glisten from the rain
‘Til late mid-October they must remain
Over the ridge, understand, just a smidge
Leaves of August glisten from the rain
I notice a tinge of color across the ridge.

Miraculous Downpour

MIRACULOUS DOWNPOUR

Exuberant, miraculous downpour spreading its wings ,forming  a canopy  above
Seems benevolent Almighty showers hugs and cuddles
Breezy, green  bushes  head over heels in love
I immerse in healing bubbles and scurries off all troubles.

Winter Is Around

When the dancing dew on the leave fall on ground,
It seems like shouts are coming out of shroud,
And this reminds me that winter is around.
When the way have mist and nobody is found,
The fragile heart beats high, and feelings seems drowned,
And this reminds me that winter around.
When the leave vanish and rain seems hound,
And the tree stand alone,it's face seems frowned ,
And this reminds me that winter is around,
When the mouth stuck and eyes make the sound,
And acquaintances seems precise with the moon round,
And this reminds me that winter is around.

Colorful Tree Clouds

From tree clouds above, vivid colors are falling,
Mellow summer days have now, all gone by crawling!
The sun has disappeared, and left a strange storm,
As engrossing as honeybees, gathered into a swarm.

Colors in the trees, in the air and on the ground,
As if at any moment, in beauty we shall be drowned!
Vibrant beauty is goodbye, in nature's native tongue,
Either in sunset hours or dawn, or luscious autumn!

Raindrops End

satisfying sound, raindrops end—
swooshing of dark-wet, late green branches

intensifying quiet of morning
thunder and lightning rescind—
mourning absentee birds

there’s no sun
as Autumn comes,
apples
ornamental—
in sodden basket
of orchard.
sweetness
lies on ground
rolled in
debris of
sticks and stones.
whispering zephyr
coolness in its aplomb.
choice
lovelies brim on trees.

the waterlogged bark
with placidity of dawn—
sudden break of chirps
