Haikus & Cinquains


Crisp and silent air
Points of white light dot the sky
Nature in the dark

Released from a cloud
Dropping swiftly through the sky
A watery splat

Very late at night
Dull pencil, open textbook
Cramming for a test

Fearing images
Cloudy yet startling sites
Beware of real dreams

Rain 
Torrential, symbolic
Feeling, tasting, embracing
Arms to the sky
Spring

Obscene
Rude, mean
Yelling, screaming, hurting
In an awkward moment
Tension

Highway
So very dull
Continuous and straight
Driving fast but feeling slow
Anxious

Sleeping
Unknown darkness
Mind and soul wandering
Sights and sounds compose a new world
Dreaming
