Summer Rain
hot sun
forfeits its warmth
to summer rain
CG
clouds in July
form a face
CH
lightning
stabbing through
the heart
SD
aftermath of the storm
reveals a rainbow
KM
colors dim
fireflies twinkle
in the moonlight
CG
stars mirrored
in the glassy lake
CH
•
ripples
two silhouettes
break the surface
SD
a whole new world
sang the mermaids
KM
mystical sounds
allure the animals
out from hiding
CG
forest mist glows
in the morning sun
CH
blood pounding
the hunter
waits

woodland animals
plot against the hunter

a rifle shot
awakens the girl
during full moon
CG
grimy streets
leaves crunch underfoot
CH
clean morning air
polluted
by burning leaves
SD
one match forgotten
sets town a blaze
KM
covered in ashes
one cherry blossom
blows away
CG
dead town
the phoenix reborn
CH

flying
the strong wind
biting cold
SD
falls victim to the freezing
ice storm
KM
icicles fall
from the cabin roof
piercing the snow mounds
CG
below melting snow
a flash of green
CH
tender leaves
struggle
to break free
SD
march showers
bring about the floods
KM
•
the puddles offer
splashes
under boots
CG
pink umbrella
lost in the crowd
CH
little girl
puddles splash
with tears
SD
she kicks up dirt clouds
with polka dot rain boots
KM
moon rising
like a polka dot
in the sky

back porch viewing
a shooting star
CH
summer wind
through the trees
tent in the back yard

burning campfire attracts
a grizzly bear
KM
embers glow
and the smoke
slows down
CG
trail of fire
in the wintry sky
CH
snowflakes cover
fallen
cherry blossoms

never ending
life cycle
