MAGNIFICENT SUNSET – for Dverse

Published August 22, 2016 by Nan Mykel

Earth wears the cloud like a high-fashioned muffler. Sensations rise up, above, high, on top of the world, over the rainbow, heavenly, defying gravity, and buoyed by the breeze. Only the seeds of rain pull her nearer, tugging at her underbelly, breaking free to water the Earth. Cotton balls or muffler, the everpresence of clouds high in the sky strutting their stuff, pacify, satisfy, an atavistic longing. And then—

sudden effusion

bullfrogs jump and plop and croak:

the sky’s orgasm

Yes that sudden change, the colors and orgasm. Wonderful… I did correct your link at dVerse, it should be fine now.

Oh, that haiku was somehow unexpected. I get it though – sometimes that need to rain builds and builds and then just gushes out! Really great.
