Spring Rain 

Cloudbursts
Frisky, quirky
Cavorting, frolicking, awakening
Arboretums, orchards, vineyards, fields
Thundering, teasing, tickling
Capricious, whimsical
Spring

Storms
Several soakers rally.
Tremendous rains snow.
Occasional gales scent.
Rare cloudbursts cause.
Many meteorologists meander.
Seasonal winsome sky.

Benumbed was all focus
Each element that descended
Within my wake
Mirrored a distinguished display
Of carmine cloudbursts and vanilla memories
Whilst I gazed above the windowsill
Though each and every existence
Defines the epitome of significance
Now and infinitely forevermore...

Rainfall  from a thatched roof 
cloudbursts of water arriving wet 
flooded streets and rivers 
drench-pours and  raincoats ;

sun showers and liquid sunshine 
streams of water flowing through 
monsoon moments burst of flowers 
heavy dew on a leaf and,    RAIN

Caress the aching tears of 'morrows
it rains in regret's remembrances,
sustained of sand-like grit 'tween frothy
mimsy and mayhem endeavoring to
rise above the fray within prayer's favor mid
 escaped disconcertion of seeping hourglass sand,
weeping 'neath copious cloudbursts...

An Acrostic Storms

Snows and rain.
Tropical cloudbursts cause clouds burst.
Occasional rains pour.
Rains snow rain pour.
Many hits kick flash erupt.
Small whirlwinds sink surmounts as acrostic.

Maître peintre of exulted hallelujahs 
   skywriting's vastly delusional vapors,
whitewashed of stained looking-glass 
     flourished in atmospherical cloudbursts,
beyond hallucinations' unearthly enlightenment
   dreamt 'pon released chimerical technicolor

Autumn Haiku - Set of Three
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

autumn 

whirlwinds of splendor
 autumn breathes umber blizzards ~
  crimson cloudbursts whorl

gusts of gold tangos
 jitterbug on orange swirls ~
  gales of scarlet squalls

outbursts of amber
 ride on russet fandangos ~
  vermillion downpours

Reminding yourself to breathe
as the stratosphere is falling,
imagine verses tumbling
midst downpours' dissension
sans sentimentality's
         loquacious language,
and the land is left barren 
    as verbosity disintegrates 
and emotions wholly perish
    'neath fickle cloudbursts
               of poetry's extinction...

Flair

of ink

spilling sweet

cloudbursts of thought

flare billows of young imagination -

daydreamers ride the mind of story-time

using wands of

enchantment

penning 

worlds

Rain

Raindrops splashing – puddles fill the terrain;
Cloudbursts of downpours - springtime in the rain;
For oceans, steep hillsides - on flat terrain –
Soaked by liquid sunshine - showers of rain;
Rides summer thunder – pelting, pounding rain;
Coming down in buckets on the smooth plain;
Party for umbrellas – fancy and plain;
Drought welcomes rainstorms again and again;
Rain for fall in cities – on the mountain;
Music of winter on rain chains again.

Rain made no apologies to sun
as it satiated a whetted appetite,
opined it was the right of nature
unconditionally given dispensation
by Mother Earth's nurturing favor
of life-giving creative indulgences,
whereon flower's blooming accolades
truly know the opulence of its essence,
whilst aroused poet's inspired reveries
ever shine 'neath abundant cloudbursts


 Anyone who thinks that sunshine is pure happiness,
 has never danced in the rain. -- unknown...
