Ode to Grey Skies
A Sonnet
I write to thee oh beautiful grey skies
Thou has blessed us with plenty of fine rain
Thine sight might be a pain to some sore eyes
Thus I pen this ode but not to complain
Every day thy clouds look a bit scary
Another storm forms filling us with dread
Local news makes us weary and wary
As downpours and floods are surging ahead
So I ask thee oh beautiful grey skies
Please listen to my pleas and humble rhyme
The drawn-out drought has come to a demise
We prayed for rain but not all at the same time
...

Within The Comfort Of Proverbs May You Find Peace
Hands cannot reach the holy grail of a blessed mind
You will attempt to find the key, however not ordained by God design
On by man’s time
And still not sip the equation of the truth as you come to find

gray skies summon pain
emptiness comes welling up
hunker down and pray

Category Five - Direct Hit
A nail from a
missing shingle
caught my
leggings
as I watched the
bloated carcass
of my neighbor’s dog
drift past
the rain gutters.
I could hear survivor
cries in the distance
and I added my
voice to theirs
in some vain
hope that
helicopter
salvation,
was real.
Beneath my cold
wet,
shoeless,
body
lies the
sodden
remains of
a life.
My grandpa’s ashes
bobbing...

Sucky Shower
After many weeks of longing
I heard not a sexy whisper
but a loud rumbling
nevertheless
it pleased and pleasured
it heralded the promise
of a delicious downpour
a sweet cooling rain
putting months of hellacious heat
to a rewarding rest
i prayed powerfully
in a pagan pursuit
for precipitation
not the heinous hinderance
of a haughty haboob
please Mr. Monsoon
may i be mollified
by your marvelous merry making meteorological mischief
Merde!
i'm ruefully...

Intoxicating Droplets...
As charcoal tufts tumble with purified droplets, floating frigid in the ether,
I await its caressing mists.
Obsidian hues imprison the periwinkle
and rolling formations of fluffy white,
as strident lashes strike lush landscapes and startle the foundations.
When the cosmos pours its liquid calm,
and relinquishes its inner chaos,
I sit in a realm of utter sereneness.
Eyes and heart filled with earnest awe.....
while the well anticipated pitter patter
and sweet perfume of petrichor
rejuvenates my senses,

Rain in Asian Forests
In the forests of Asia,
where the green unfolds.
The rain dances in leaves,
in a silent ballet,
falling like nature's tears,
mysterious,
a veil that embraces the earth,
a song that echoes.
Under the canopy of trees
the rain persists and sings
washing old logs,
calming the nervous,
the rivers sway, they run free,
impetuous.
And the birds take shelter,
in their nests, for nothing.
On the leaves, drops shine
like rare pearls
and the winds whisper secrets
among the samaras.
And the...

Epilogue of Rain
The epilogue of the rain
sounds like quelling silence.
A solve unto my pain -
a mystery I cannot solve.
Maybe I am insane -
I have long thought but never said.
because…
being insane was something that always made me proud.
Does that make me insane?
I guess I just didn’t want to be the same
as all those people in the crowd.
I guess I just wanted my silence to be loud
and vanquish the seeds sown
by lying scheming manipulative powers that be
that write the script of you and me

If I Could I Would Fly to You
The rain is falling
On the cabins roof
A staccato rhythm
of a scattered melody
Playing the song
That my heart composes
When I think of you
The upbeat ting
Of precipitation on tin
Like our body’s colliding
When we meet again
The sound
Of water sinking into soil
Absorbing, like me into your arms
The somber tone of
Heavy drops falling on a
On a Luna Moth’s wing
If I could I would fly to you
On the cabins roof
A staccato rhythm
of a scattered melody
Playing the song
That my heart composes
When I think of you
The upbeat ting
Of precipitation on tin
Like our body’s colliding
When we meet again
The sound
Of water sinking into soil
Absorbing, like me into your arms
The somber tone of
Heavy drops falling on a
On a Luna Moth’s wing
If I could I would fly to you

Rainy Day
Rain Rain - Go Away!
I'm stuck inside.
There is no sun in the sky.
Everything is wet.
Water is pooling.
Weather alert on my phone,
I'm not fooling.
A chuckle or two.
Southern Cali, heavy rain.
treated like a hurricane.
It's too dangerous to go out
for an emergency latte.
Even the humming birds freak.
Saw one under the stairs.
Flying under a landing,
staying out of despair.
Maybe I'll risk it,
and go out.
Mother nature be nice.
Ok end the drought.
But there aren't many...
