Nature’s Perfect Song #rain #spring #haiku

beautiful notes

larks join in sky’s symphony

rain plays tympani

*

pounding on the pane

spring colours run grey

listen… the chorus

**

perfect key

he sips from a lily

break in the storm

In Transition #haiku #poetry

 

beyond repair

pulled as tide transitions

when it rains it pours

The DP Challenge is a great way to challenge your photographic eye this weeks prompt is Transition

Rainy Day #poetry

Scattered about

by big raindrops

little feet

water puddles seek

some under hoods

umbrellas hide

 creatures burrow

wait for God’s rainbow

Shared with Poet’s United Poets Pantry.

The picture of the rainbow I found years ago and I dont know who to attribute the beauty to.

Sleet #poetry #rain #winter

 

Looking up to curse nature’s tears

you freeze as you plummet toward my plot of dirt

the contingent of birds and woodland life shivers

no one wants to venture out

bombarded by winter’s calling card

with one added degree of warmth you thaw

no longer a harsh sleet

your cascade is gentle as you brush against leaves

caressing and nourishing the brown earth

 

 

 Rain is grace; rain is the sky descending to the earth; without rain, there would be no life.

John Updike

beautiful notes

larks join in sky’s symphony

rain plays tympani

hibari naku naka no hyoshi ya kiji no koe

through the skylark’s singing
comes the beat
of pheasants’ cries

~ Basho

 

Today’s prompt for Chevrefeuille’s Carpe Diem Month long celebration is “Skylark’s Singing” in honor of Basho.

Day’s End #photography #poetry

 

Rain drops collide with mid afternoon heat

thunder’s timpani roll  in loud rumbles

the conductor excitedly increases the tempo

light flashes as the cymbals strike

leaves clap their hands

trees bow in deference

the moon’s light brightens the sky

nature hushes waiting for a silvery banquet

fire flies approach the dance floor

spinning their partners in charged ecstasy

summer beads off my brow as I watch day’s end

Dawn’s Silence #poetry #photography

It rained a blue and silent yawn

catching warm colors that suited

dancing yellows, reds and dawn 

It rained a silent gazing yawn

dancing yellows, reds and dawn 

I held my volume level muted

It rained for me a silent yawn

catching drops warm colors suited

The Triolet fits the prompt of silence nicely I think.

The Triolet: Its rhyme scheme  is ABaAabAB and often all lines are in iambic tetrameter: the first, fourth and seventh lines are identical, as are the second and final lines, thereby making the initial and final couplets identical as well.

Undone #poetry #photography #art

Slain

by your sharp edged heart

well aimed piercing

dart

*

Dripping

off the edge of my page

blood flows free at this

stage

*

Alone

none to hold back the pain

too late to catch bloody

rain

*

Undone

mere ashes in your hands

fiend, my death so long

planned

The Embrace #haiku #photography

Embrassez moi

sous la pluie

ne jamais cesser

*

never stop

holding me with your heart

catch love’s tears

*

catch love’s tears

save them in a bottle

for a sunny day

Le_Baiser_de_lHotel_de_Ville ~ Robert Doisneau

The prompt for today’s Carpe Diem is “Embrace.” There are many forms of that gesture I was in a romantic mood so my haiku cascade starts with a French Kiss!!!

Catching Fall #haiku #photography

The Tan Renga Challenge is to write a second stanza (7-7) in response of the first stanza (5-7-5). In that way you make the Tan Renga complete. The first stanza, a haiku (this week by JzB), is 5-7-5 syllables  and the second stanza (an echo) has 7-7 syllables.

Haiku by Jazzbumpa

green leaves turn orange
amid the colors we see
cold raindrops falling       (JzB)

My response

daring to catch season’s end

nature reaches out a hand

This is Carpe Diem’s wonderful Tan Renga challenge. An additional challenge to create an echo to the original work. Jazzbumpa is an excellent crafter of words you can read more of his work.
