For Frank Tassone’s #haikai challenge 151, autumn storm/darkness. I wanted a much gentler vision, but the Oracle was having no part of it.
delirious sleep
pounding its raw grey stormchant
wind language dreaming
mad with shadows whispering
in a momentary light
sky clouds rain and wind–
lush vortex spins, releasing
the unheld center
For Frank Tassone’s Haikai Challenge #103. The subject is windstorm.
sky clouds rain–
suddenly letting
go, transformed–
drunk vortex,
mélange of thunder swirling–
spilling wind water
A shadorma for Colleen’s Tanka Tuesday words, kind and shift. Thesaurus.com says mélange is a synonym for kind. I think it’s a bit of a stretch, but I love the sound of it.
And the storm really did break those 100 degree days into a more seasonal 80.
