‘Tis Night–Wrapped In Cloud (Tanka)

‘Tis night–wrapped in cloud

Torrential rains, gale doth blow

Washing clean this earth

All done by the hand of God

To welcome in loving spring

Storm Clouds Rushing In (Haiku)

Storm clouds rushing in

Starving drought with blessed rain

~~ Praying for relief

Storm’s Stage – A Haiku

lightning

Thunder-clap booming 

As lightning illuminates

The storm’s stage is set

Storms Rage – A Tanka

Storms rage with fury

Devastating destruction

Tearing limb-from-limb

Pain not invoked by nature

But by a tormented soul

A Winter’s Day

Shafts of golden beam

Carry dust and dreams

Through panes stained

From winds and rain

Warming on a cold winter’s day

Secured from dhill, inside I will stay

A cup of tea in one hand

Envisioning holiday in a warmer land

Comfort in a good book I will read

In these I find all the solace I need

Nothings better on a cold winter day

Than a good book, hot tea and…

                       A mind allowed to stray

~~ D. R. DiFrancesco ~~
