[haiga]

yellow brick road
the shuffle of fear and angst
in earth tremors

earth tremors -
the balm of tea after
how consoling

Still trembling from Tuesday's 6.9 so my art and haiku today are thus inspired

sky a perfect azure -
violent earth tremors
stay in yesterday

Yesterday? just another normal day for A Rainy Season. Heavy rain showers and overcast skies. The kind of rain you brave it with an umbrella, dodging chores in between the downpours. The back gate rattles, the gardener backs his car into the driveway. Armed with his paraphernalia of waka, blower, fertilizers; he works through the overcast. Leaving behind a neatly clipped and fertilized lawn and pruned bougainvillea.
All is well in the conscious minds of the nonscientific watchers. Rainy season days are like that

Until the Epicenters and such like begin their dastardly games. I read somewhere a long time ago a legend which say that there are giant turtles holding up earth and sometimes they get tired and then!! is us to catch. Earthquake of yesterday a 6.8 according to The Seismic Unit at St Augustine, though there have been reports from other sources of Magnitude 7.3 earthquake Affected countries: Grenada, Venezuela, and Trinidad and Tobago 22 km from Rio Caribe, Sucre, Venezuela · 5:31 PM

layers of heat waves
the sip of bird songs
after earth tremors

There was an earthquake on Wednesday morning, the not so scary part of it is that I only knew about it, when I heard it on the news, later in the morning, Phew! slept through that one

✿ܓ


[Notice there is a recurred motif today the glass of straws from a few weeks back. Started with torn bits of glued newsprint to cardboard, added some buttons, and that cut out from a few weeks ago. Little line drawn birds, penciled in. Think i'll move out of newsprint pieces though. Next week starting some more water colour pieces. ✿ܓIn case you are wondering. I search for music after i finish my pieces ]

17 DAYS TILL CHRISTMAS
❧✿❧





Dear Mary, as the earth shook last evening, holding my breath in a tense grasp of memory erasure, all i could fathom from this soul stirring danse macabre, was the name of your son

trembling earth -
reports in the news say
a six point two

Trending September Day 10

no summers
just Caribbean breezes
no winters either

fallen blossoms
on the paved walk

leaf cutter ants
they have a mind of their own
carrying cuttings

some faithful ladies arrange
vases for their church altar

automatic doors -
the intimated welcome
to grocery shoppers

persistent honking of horns
Sunday cooking gas sellers

polling day
the longest lines
for stained fingers

delicious! watermelons
did i mention, the red team won

kiskadee
this bird singing out its name
kis ka ke ee ee

as if the night was too long
an earth tremor before dawn

This is DAY TEN of Trending September a haiku sequence. During this September sequence i will not be linking to prompts at other sites.

WALL

teabags infuse
some hot days and warm nights
penciling thoughts

~on the richter scale six point something~

deep in-breath
in response to a rumble
cracks in the walls

Year Still New

after 4 storms in 2008 and now a 7 pointer for Haiti; Port au Prince is devastated, Haiti; prayers and wishes for speedy medical, food and reconstruction aid
this image created was from 2 internet photos which were stitched and a fine art filter applied and cropped to this finished product

the year still new
as old calendars are crumbled
earthquake in Haiti
