Tanka – Sea Slaps Shore

Somber cirrus clouds
gathered in tranquil blue sky
as boisterous sea
attacked melancholy shore,
slapping it with tidal waves....

Listen to poem:

Clouds foretell the weather
Calling fine and fair are:
    Cirrus thin, icy wisps.
    Cumulus puffy, white. 
Calamity coming:
    Cumulonimbus tall.
    Castellanus towers....

clud or clod, Old English
covers that provide shade
condensation’s product
converge though far apart
create shapes that amaze 
cumulus, cottony
cirrus, thin and frothy

eErie haze, becalm water
elongating obscurity
Binded

tinged fuscia, luster
Ascending radience
captivating

Jesus' Eyes

Eyes alive with love
Warm, crystal blue, cirrus skies
eternally loving eyes.
The sun, His love light 
Stratus, flow, eons ago
Two universes of love!

Circa vista under seen

life and spirit flow..

sublime outline forms


little hill folds down..

cross the valley bleating sheep

combs coombe the eyrie hawk..!

Cottony vapour fluffs, 
Caravan shape-shifting, 
Can be stratus, nimbus, 
cumulus or cirrus, 
Cover the blue with white, 
Cranky storms turn them black;
Chariot of the Lord.

             cumulus, blankets
             cirrus, are God's paintbrushes
             nimbus, rain for us

A dawning truth breaks the amber skies and
I watch white cedar celebrate its elation;
light-play tickles my brain cells, in
tones of sepia-golds and verdigris.
The cirrus seems content with its
travels, gifting hope of new beginnings.

Fire rainbow, misnamed.
Circumhorizontal arc
Is an optical

Phenomenon, an
Ice halo formed by plate shaped
Ice crystals in high

Level cirrus clouds.
Circumhorizon arc is 
It's other cool name

Swells of nitrous climbing walls, cirrus pennants slowly flag..
Cerise in the lining, richly glowing halls are leading
Onto stairs with eternally deep & steep stooping falls
magenta hued cotton surround me in fields on every side
I'm Floridian dreaming, under bearded trees with the river nearby....

Florescent sherbet Cirrus puffs floating
O’er wavy ribbon candy horizon,
Candy cane sun shafts with sprinkles coating,
Licking a custard filled moon rising.

Marmalade splattered skies,
wisps of folded blueberry streaked batter,
devoured by my eyes.
Is imagination over matter.

It is the constant present
That we come to resent
The way time gains whats sent,

Sending the traveler backwards
Not into the mountains but towards
Valley's slung low as branching wards,

Cirrus clouds spread like handwriting
Facing the reader with their writing
Lest the journeyer stops to write....

Summer's parade
Is on its way.
Cirrus pennons
At the forefront
As high skied, and of their shape
Foreshow who celebrate
With kites that day.

Best procession!
Fun's; unrestrained!
Life, the benign
Which radiates
In sync with bouncy posture
And a ball-rolling gesture
Our part. - you're gained!...

Sand gets grayer, melting sun
Merges into setting phase
Waves slow down their run
To the quieter pace 
Gentler blows the ocean breeze
Cirrus clouds decay
Shines a metaphor of peace
In the air today
Looks like postcard type of view 
But it’s not that trite
On the premise of the few
Who can breathe the light.

I will write for her clouds of color
Ellipses, reddened
to temper this cold!

I will write for her words of purple cirrus
and pink, dawns
we will walk in golden sunsets.

Behold yellow morning star
the heavenly peach
caught between Magnolia branches..

I will write the rain, the flame
and this poem for her!

Fluffy's joined the jet set
in the upper stratosphere
where the cirrus clouds are wispy
just like her touzled hair.

Is she off to Tokyo
or maybe to LA?
When dogs have joined the jet set
it's difficult to say.

But what about her carbon count?
It must be very high.
More local earthbound walkies
should reduce her need to fly....

She inhales the aurora,
breath laced with frozen with light speed
Pulsar fingers stretch through cirrus gauze,
her bodice bending like solar flares.

Astronaut 
A quasar shudders behind her lips,
erupting across the event horizon.

Space folds—
she unspools like a nebula unraveling,
luminous in the underworld 
aphrodisiac of your vanilla fragrance...
