Ironwood Blossoms

Ironwood blossoms

Fragrant after spring time rains

Victim of summer

Coolness Of Morning

Coolness of morning

Dew envelops everything

Rain clouds have stormed off

Crack…Sound of Thunder

Crack…sound of thunder

Explosion like fireworks

Honoring nature

 

Rain…confetti showering

Crystal sparks upon the earth

 

What is more lovely

Than the beauty and power

Of Heaven above

 

She pauses to remind us

When we get too arrogant

Sky Obsidian (Haiku)

Sky obsidian

Smell of desert in the wind

Storm fast approaching

Traipsing Through The Mud (Haiku)

Traipsing through the mud

So nice to feel like a kid

Hope no one sees me

~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~

Clouds Layered, Thick, Dark (Tanka)

Clouds layered thick, dark

Framing nature’s ragged face

She weeps for the sun

They are but star-crossed lovers

Counting down to reunion

 

~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~

 

Overnight Rain Falls (Haiku)

Overnight rain falls
Tap-dancing on the tile roof
Classic Fred Astaire

~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~

Tiniest Cricket (Haiku)

Tiniest cricket

Seeks refuge from the storm

Symphony indoors

 

~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~

Desert Riverbeds (Haiku)

Desert riverbeds
Parched and cracked from summer’s heat
Alive with rain’s breath

~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~

Blanket Overhead (Haiku)

Blanket overhead
Gray and low, most menacing
A storm approaches
