Storms ... for One Deep Breath


This weeks prompt on One Deep Breath is "storms." It is a stormy time of year. It is a stormy time of life.

angry tears
like sudden summer rain
thunder and lightning, too

hot tempered heart
autumnal gusts of leaves
chilled by rimey nights

in winter’s hand
wind carries frozen crystals
the field a drift of snow

April’s greening pasture
early birds sing at dawn
a sudden flood of mirth

Very nice haiku, all. The first is my favorite, though.

Excellent haiku series - the seasonal storms of our lives! I like that it ends in Spring.
