clouds meet with lightning
like an amorous partner
a wild rendezvous

whooshing wind whistles
heralds tropical monsoon
sun steps back with grace 

silvery ribbons’
obeisance to Mother Earth
saturated soil

roads become rivers
in tune with the symphony
the night’s cloak darkens

dawn loses its colors
clouds reign with black and gray hues
a prolonged downpour

Thanks to Sadje for an evocative image #Whatdoyousee – 329

Thanks to Colleen and Melissa for the inspiration to write syllabic poetry. The challenge this week is to write a Rensaku.

Rensaku is a Japanese form consisting of a linked sequence of haiku or tanka by a single author, focused on a unified theme or subject. Coined by Masaoka Shiki in the Meiji period, this “sequential composition” allows each stanza to remain independent while building a cohesive narrative.

Thank you for reading my poetry. For more poetry, hang out with  Hues Of Hope
