Weather – Sarah Potter Writes

#Tanka 46 — Coal

Materialised
overnight, huge lump of coal
in garden border.
Inked carbon slick with rainfall,
December too warm for snow.

Charcoal clouds from north…
garden locked in somnolence
awaits first raindrops.
Storm hits, its broadside attack
an act of demolition.

~Horizon smudged grey~
Invisible seagulls squawk
beyond summer rain.

Winter sun squeezes
low between naked branches
crowned by feathered clouds.
