semaphore flags snap
high in the ominous sky
double back and red
–
a tempest-
warning flags
flying high
Category: Rain
Kilauea
Pele watches as
Pregnant clouds spill down over
The caldera’s rim
Brevity
Late October rain
Bees covet the wildflowers
While the desert blooms
Garden
Dark flowers bloom as
Small drops of rain release the
Incense of the earth
Rebirth
A desert reborn
As rain coalesces and
Falls to the parched earth
Flood
Unburdened release
Angry swollen torrents rage
Surging towards the sea
Storm
Fractures of lightning
Illuminate the downpour
Before the thunder
Steam
A humid spring day
Sudden rain soaks the asphalt
And leaves it steaming
