The morning sun squeezed
Eased into the cloudy day
White clouds set on fire

Haiku – Red Morning

Poem – Flip Flops
Flip Flops in the rain
Feeling so much pain
The warm sandy beach
So far from their reach
On this long gloomy day
So full of dark and grey
-
Haiku – Morning Gloom
Salt and pepper clouds
The sun’s rays refuse to shine
The day starts out grey
-
Haiku – Another One
Thick clouds, gray and black
Hanging across the sunlight
Overcast again

Haiku – Departing Storm
Clouds racing – chasing
Across the deep daylight blue
Hint of storm – fading

Haiku – 42 in May
Record low today
Summer knocked, no one answered
Why so cold in May?
Record low for this morning is 43 degrees in Raleigh, N.C. We made it down to 42. This is so unbelievable for Memorial Day weekend. Weird weather.

Haiku – Today’s Run – (5/24/2013)
Dark and stormy skies,
are painted across the day
3 miles – sun erupts

Poem – Bruised Purple Sky
Day-light choking,
strangled out by darkening clouds.
Severe storm warning,
thunder sounds.

Poem – Tornado
A barren land,
left in your wake.
Lives and homes destroyed,
by the path that you take.
I thought I was taking a small break, but this tornado today has really bothered me so I had to write something about it. Just seeing all the damage and destruction and hearing about all the lives lost has really put me at a loss. My heart and my prayers go out to them and not only them, but all of those who have faced something like this.

Haiku – Chill
What’s this, cool again?
Summer is ever so close
Winter’s grasp lingers
Cold morning again and a cool day as well. I really can’t believe this is May already. Where is the Spring? Summer is getting close and we still really haven’t had a solid Spring. Winter really is tough to kick this year.

Haiku – Spring Storm
Thunder and lightning
Dancing inside a big storm
One leads, one follows
-
Haiku – May Day
A cool May morning
Filled with winter’s dying grey
Hides the warmth today
-
Haiku – Morning Mist
Cool morning mist hangs
Soft veil upon the shoreline
A blanket of white

Poem – Unwelcome Guests
1
The clouds languish,
hang around
Like unwelcome guests,
they surround
2
My mood shifts, changes
Dreary day,
these unwelcome guests,
so cold and grey
3
Oh, unwelcome guests,
So full of dark today
Please, please, I beg of you,
go away

Haiku – 1st Thunder
Loud thunder rumbling
Sound builds, fat, large, as it grows
Spring storm on the way
-
Haiku – Sun Rays
Morning light stretches,
reaches out its warming arms
Death to cold darkness

Haiku – Sky Fire 6 (Re-Write)
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/

Haiku – Falling Raindrops
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.

Haiku – Nip to the Air
Crisp, overcast day
Windows open, a cool breeze
Haunting, like a ghost

Poem – The News is Snowing
Snow capped news this morning
Lives slowed to a crawl
Blizzard warnings, heavy white
Brutal winter snow fall
