Storm clouds boiling
Thunder rattling windows
Bowling for the gods

Rains Cascade From The Mountaintop
Rains cascade from the mountaintop
So fluid in its dance of desperation
Tumbling over granite shards
Impregnating the seed of the dormant bride
Soon she will welcome her offspring
Colorful and joyous
Springing from crack and crevice
To play amongst the warmth of the winds
Her groom–
Disappearing ever downward
Seeks slumber in the bed below
Having succumbed to destiny
Coyote and cacti feed from his humble remains
Quenching their arid thirst
Until at once
…He is no more

Desert Drawn Skyward (Tanka)
Phoenix Arizona Haboob July 5, 2014
Desert drawn skyward
Where the earth meets with heaven
A blanket of brown
Swallowing all in its path
Like a final curtain call
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
*Welcome to the 2014 monsoon season here in the desert southwest. Maybe we will get a little bit of rain here tonight…if we’re lucky.

Wall fast approaching
Haboob swallowing daylight
Welcome the dust bowl

Author’s Note: Monsoon season is here in Arizona and these walls of dust are quite frequent visitors. What an awesome sight.
