Summer Storm

Wind blows, branches fall.
Too late to find a shelter.
The rain decided
To soak everything in sight
And you are now it's victim.

Late Thoughts

Faces from the past
Come to visit in your dreams.
Will they be friendly,
Or will they disturb your thoughts
And make you wish for closure?

WATER

Liquid in make up,
an element much needed
for life to exist
you flow in human bodies
keeping our species alive.

Tanka structure... sans poetic touch.

MEMORIES

Hiding amongst walls
of neurons, these creatures keep
our diaries safe.

This one stuck to me....like Gorilla glue!

Microscopic Meal

Fly jerks and fidgets
Dancing around a bread crumb,
Enjoying the feast
That other insects passed by,
Happy with the small reward.

Gross!
But the theme (gratitude) stands taller.

Preservation

Tree has been cut down,
In the past we had climbed it.
Stream no longer flows.
We once played in it's currents.
They will live on in our thoughts.

I sense a degree of reincarnation with Bob's affiliation.

Man's intervention!

ANGER!

Hot blood now coursing
through our veins and arteries
shortening life spans!

Sweltering

Air thick as a wall
Yet under hazy moonlight
First glance lights fire

Read you are in the midst of Hell right now.

Contrary to you guys on the other side of the "pond",...we are still waiting for some HEAT!

Q

 

[Apreggiator]

Wish I could send some over!

To be fair it's not even a heatwave, just summer hitting properly. But my northern(-ish) European frame is not built for heat.
Booked myself a mountain summer holiday to escape this madness.

REVENGE

Best served cold they say
with satisfaction lasting
on one's sated lips!

Altitude to change attitude...a great "cool" idea!

Leapfrog

How many spirits
I explode in ecstacy
Damned mortal coil

In the last chapter...you will know all.

IMPATIENT PATIENT

He waits longingly
lost with others who also
watch endless minutes
drag in anticipation
for relief meds will give them.

All Tanka structure...with little poetic-touch.

Blistering with "excitement"!

Well executed.
