Rain

. 

A lot of this recently. 

. 

Rain       -       21 Nov 22 

Wet above 

Sky filled with cloud 

Wet below 

Road filled with puddles 

Wet around

World filled with rain

. 

Can hear it and see it. 

. 

Rain Again

A statement about wetness.





Rain Again  -  08 Aug 17

The sky is leaking

A gentle torrent

To refill the puddles

Along the road

Pale grey cloud

Hides the sun again

Rain everywhere

Holiday season and we have low-flying cloud and rain to offer the visitors to west Cornwall.

Colour Of The Wind

Speculations on the colour of the wind.





Colour Of The Wind  -  19 Nov 5

Seen only
In the reflection
Of the memory
In the puddles
On the road

Guessed at by poets
As they carve words
With sharpened pen
From feathers
Carried by the wind

Seen clearly during
Delirious ramblings
Of a fevered mind
Never remembered
When fever abates





No, I was not afflicted by a fever when I wrote this, it just seems to fit.

Afternoon Bay

A weather observation during a visit to Penzance [Cornwall, UK] on a rather chill day.





Afternoon Bay  -  02 Feb 15

Looking out across the bay
The distant shore
Fading out behind the hail
Hard rain arrives
Gulls hide and fools walk
Puddles on the road
Discarded messages
From the clouds





Interesting little point, the last three lines could make a good modern Haikū . . .

Puddles on the road
From the clouds
Discarded messages

Giants Walking

Written yesterday and posted today because of witnessed events.





Giants Walking  -  08 Oct 14

Giants walking
In the afternoon
Children splash
Through puddles
Sending spray
Everywhere
Adults practice
Combat skills
Sparks from sword
Contacts fly
Others playing
Skittles
Thunder





I Love watching the weather.

Gogyohka 8

Another selection from the hand-written Gogyohka archives.





Word  -  19 Aug 10

A whispered word
coaxes memories
out of the shuttered room
blinking
into the daylight


I Wait  -  20 Aug 10

And in the early hours
I wait
with a futile sense
of longing
for your return


Seeing You  -  20 Aug 10

Seeing you
in the eye of my mind
Holding you
in the palm of my Soul
Loving you


Day's End  -  21 Aug 10

Close of day
Fingertips of sunlight
caress my face
ruffle my hair
with a gentle breeze


Raindrops  -  21 Aug 10

Standing in cloud
feet firmly on the ground
eyes lost
in the space between raindrops
and puddles
