Loud thunder rumbling
Sound builds, fat, large, as it grows
Spring storm on the way
Loud thunder rumbling
Sound builds, fat, large, as it grows
Spring storm on the way
Three and a half miles
With Robins and Cardinals,
leading my journey
The muse dances, twirls
As rain falls from a black sky
Onto a parched Earth
The trees are alive
Full of nature’s soothing song
Music for my soul
A cold morning wind
Rattles and cackles bare limbs
Chorus of the damned
Nip to the Air 1
Crisp, overcast day
Windows open, a cool breeze
Haunting, like a ghost
I hear birds chirping
Spring sounds push through the night’s dark
Warm days on the way
Spring Rising 1
The first day of March
Spring’s growth starting to blossom
Life wakes from slumber
Morning light stretches,
reaches out its warming arms
Death to cold darkness
The first day of March
Spring’s growth starting to blossom
Life wakes from slumber
Red bird in the rain
Migration has called you back
Harbinger of Spring
Red Bird 1
Red bird in the snow
Cold, late February day
What keeps you so warm?
Red bird in the snow
Cold, late February day
What keeps you so warm?
Sunlight cascading,
fading, into nighttime’s grasp
Evening sky bleeds
After publishing this earlier today I realized two things, the last line had six syllables in it (evening is three not two) and I also wasn’t a big fan of the way I closed the original – Evening sky turns red.
I went ahead and made the changes and then published it the way I think it should have gone out, originally. Us poets, so neurotic, we have to get it right.
Thank you for reading. You are now free to move about the blog.
Here is the original Part 6: http://awrenfro.com/2013/02/25/haiku-sky-fire-6/
Sunlight cascading,
fading, into nighttime’s grasp
Evening sky turns red
Sky Fire 1
Grey storm clouds parting
Turning the sky into fire
Day ends in a blaze
Sky Fire 2
Sunlight fading fast
Leaving embers in the sky
Day takes one last breath
Sky Fire 3
Rays of sun explode
As the day is closing down
The sky above burns
Sky Fire 4
White cotton ball clouds
Burning on a light blue sky
The world turns crimson
Sky Fire 5
A flame colored light
Races across the white clouds
Turning them blood red
Tiny, small rain drops
Tumbling, falling from the sky
Cascading shower
…
Trees drip with water
Rain shower washing them clean
Nourishment for Spring
…
Clouds of ashen grey
Hold hostage the sun above
Release date, unknown
…
White bark on the tree
Rain, a river racing down
Forming small puddles
…
Do you Haiku? If you do, maybe you could throw a few rain based Haiku my way. Just drop them in the comment section below.
Soft warm, yellow beams
Comfort puddle of sunlight
Cat’s utopia
Crib gymnast sleeping
Cup of coffee to relax
Sunlight on my face

Carolina Day 1
Blue skies and no clouds
A warm, bright, and beautiful
Carolina day
Carolina Day 2
Sun filled, light blue sky
Casual white clouds drifting
Lazy hammock day
Carolina Day 3
My shoulder, nap time
Son’s gentle breath in my ear
Secure, safe, and warm
