A steady downpour
without sparks and roar – we drown
in a watch of gray.

Night Stirrings
Through cricket filled nights,
distant trains pass – longings stir
for what is unknown.

on rolled bales of summer hay –

Stormy Weather
The night got into
a fight with itself. Sharp sparks
flew as the sky wept.

Ripples in the trees
and upon the pond below –
nature’s harmonics
Now And Then
It’s just for now that
dark clouds hover. Tomorrow
sun will fill the sky.

Can we find a way

such changing weather?

Intermittent rain
this summer season – flowers
bloom and trees rejoice.

Accepting summer
after rejecting winter –

Haiku and Senryu
In summer morning
mist, trees await the kiss of
slowly rising sun.

Though some may see shapes
in those shifting morning clouds,

Haiku Happiness
Newly fallen rain
winks in summer’s setting sun
as bright flowers beam.

Heated Haiku
Hot nights, hotter days –
add a splash of rain – result?
a summer sauna
