Birman clouds gathered
To bury the top
Clawing their way down
to the dale below
White and grey cloaking
Short and sharp showers
Bitingly icy
Enveloping all
Felinely smothered
Now invisible
Morning lurks
In dark alleys;
Haze presides
~~~~~~~~~
Sunbeams seep
Hazy skies ruin;
Magical sunlight
~~~~~~~~~
Hazy horizons
Smoky dust drifts;
Moody suspensions
~~~~~~~~~
Moody haze
Depressed moods;
Choking smog
~~~~~~~~~
Gratitude smiles
Lazy afternoon;
Sanguine sitcoms
~~~~~~~~~
My darling smiles
Inner sunshine;
Travel talk here
~~~~~~~~~
Random journeys
Mystery calls;
Cites fond journal
~~~~~~~~~
Micro tales
Short and sharp;
Food for thought
~~~~~~~~~
Touch of morning
Evaporated dreams;
Reality check
~~~~~~~~~
Moments of madness
Breezy easy frolic;
Joy mingles cheer
~~~~~~~~~
Old friend departs
Sad moments sum;
Fond feelings linger
~~~~~~~~~
Sleepy moments
Loiter somnolent;
Wake-up call
~~~~~~~~~
