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

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

Turkey vultures perched
on rolled bales of summer hay –
Halloween prelude

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
It’s just for now that
dark clouds hover. Tomorrow
sun will fill the sky.

Can we find a way
to live both with and beyond
such changing weather?

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

Accepting summer
after rejecting winter –
inner seasons change.

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

Though some may see shapes
in those shifting morning clouds,
I see senryu.

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

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