Poems - Sonora

Sonora

by fogglethorpe

The cloud is growing
The dust is hiding the noon
I see it blowing

Sonora

No starlings flying
Coyotes lurk in the dunes
I hear them crying

Sonora

And I love the rain
'Cause it doesn't always come
And we wait in vain
'Til the posturing is done
And we see the same old sun

Sonora

The lightning's flashing
The thunder enters my room
I feel it crashing

Sonora

The palms are swaying
The leaves are playing their tune
I guess we're staying

Sonora

And I love the rain
'Cause it never lasts for long
And I can't explain
I don't miss it when it's gone
For a near eternal dawn

And I love the rain
'Cause it doesn't always come
And we wait in vain
'Til the posturing is done
And we see the same old sun

Sonora

Thank you for this fine sharing, Hugh, I am impressed by the way the poem gathers force as it goes, and I appreciate the originality of the images as well. Excellent work. Warm Wishes, Tasha

Ah, so expressive of blustery displays that affect the senses yet pass by quickly. Old Sonora, a much slower pace - but I suppose it, too has changed... although I hope not too much! Sonora, lovely lyrics Hugh. Cheers, Mary Ann

dear Hugh, I agree wholeheartedly with Chris' comment - these warm and windy words made me feel like doing the same thing - and, by the way, I LOVE iced coffee! Smile

a song of wait and the pain comes through...
a combination of senryu and tanka, is it?
warm wishes,
D.
