Ominous rainclouds
Threaten a thorough soaking;
They don’t disappoint.

rain
Overnight – Double Tanka
Woken with a fright –
Sky-shattering explosion
Rocks the pitch black night;
Raging rainstorm overhead
Pummelling the helpless earth.
The morning after,
The saturated land sighs,
Breathes gossamer mists
Veiling periwinkle skies,
As sleepless commuters rise.

Refreshment – A Tanka
Raindrops in Morse Code,
Dotted and dashed on fogged panes,
Soft patter soundtrack;
From the confines of these walls
I crave the rain’s cool caress.

Transformation – A Tanka
The emerging sun
Transforms our puddle-soaked roads
To molten silver;
Gleaming, dazzling rivers flow
Through the weatherworn city.

Hi all, I have returned from my overseas adventures! After a week of glorious Spanish sunshine and temperatures in the mid-30s, I was welcomed back to the UK by thick black clouds, an almighty deluge and a bumpy plane landing! In homage to the beautiful British weather, I felt it appropriate for my blogging return to be rain-related. Here’s hoping for some brighter and crisper autumn days to come!
Topsy-Turvy – A Haiku
I’m walking on clouds
Gateway to another world
Ripples ‘neath my feet

Rainstorm – A Tanka
Whipping wind lashes,
Riotous rainfall splashes,
Blackened sky flashes,
Serrated lightning slashes,
Resounding thunder crashes.

Lightshow Spectacular
Thick and sticky air
Glued to dewy skin
A curtain of humidity
Cumulonimbus descending
The skyline hangs low
Beneath weighty clouds
Undulating charcoal gloom
August – A Haiku
Incessant rainfall
Smothers all in dreary grey:
Summer dreams shattered.

Deluge – A Haiku
Drab downpour drenches
Pelting precipitation
Skin soaked, shoes squelching

Silver Linings – A Tanka
Drenched by a deluge,
Sweet scent of new-fallen rain
Greets my sodden nose;
Even the darkest rainclouds
Still have a silver lining.
