his world and word
his son and spirit
preaching and prophecy
truth and beauty
love and justice
surprise coincidences
faithful providences
miraculous signs
music of planets
rhythm of seasons
acts of service
suffering of martyrs
laughter of children
rustle of wind
rumble of thunder
lightning strike
roaring fire
quiet waters
gentle whispers
still small voice
…are you listening?

in onomatopoeia Tags: bridge, clouds, rain, rapids, river, stor, thunder, trees, wind
Linking to dVerse where Bjorn hosts onomatopoeia poetry prompt…
clouds gather darkly
thunder rrrumbles
wind whooshes wild
through trembling trees;
leaves twitter with ppips
of raindrops…plopps on
gravel road…drumms atop
car roof; aloof to river rapids
churling, swirling swiftly along,
rushing, gushing underneath
old bridge as it creaks rustily.

in impressionism, tanka Tags: blackbirds, caw, clouds, hail, storm, thunder, wheat
wild swoop over wheat
blackbirds caw in unison
ominous wing beat
storm clouds darken horizon
thunder rumbles threat of hail

thunder bowls on roof
lightning scores strike across lawn
rain cheers at windows
find your ball and pay for shoes
no one can sleep in alley!

It’s dry and we’re hoping for rain soon (link to Kristjaan’s prompt at CDHK).

approaching thunder
rural towns and farms flooded
pouring rain again
power of lightning
splits mature tree to toothpicks
exploding the air
winds bending treetops
scanning skies for dark funnels
praying there’s no hail
after summer storm passes
a double rainbow appears
a poem in my pocket
