Black Caterpillar

Moving to it’s own slow beat

Legs slowly churning

Blades of tall green grass

Cool moisture laying on it

Quenching the dry Earth

Cicadas screaming

Hidden inside the green leaves

A call of summer

Thick white clouds drifting

Crossing across the blue sky

Peeks of bright sunshine

☀️

Clouds parting briefly

After a strong rain shower

Sun tries to peek through

The tips of branches

Speckled with bright pink blossoms

Swaying in the breeze

Darkening skies grow

Clouds crawling ever so slow

Storm starting to build

Air, thick and humid

Heat cut by a gentle breeze

Strolling through the day

From dark and grey clouds

Small droplets of falling rain

Drifting through the air

Sun behind the trees

Highlighting nature’s beauty

Splashing on the leaves

Night starting to rise

Sunlight fading into dusk

Another day complete

I wrote this last night as the sun was starting to set.

Saturated ground

Thirsting for cool clear water

Clouds erupt with rain

Not raining today. I wrote this yesterday as we had a massive thunderstorm roll through. The storm lasted for hours and it inspired this Haiku.
