what I perceive
as silence –
cicada undertones

a cicada
emerges, the memory
of rain in rock

hot and humid
another day
dripping summer

dark clouds
the rumble of garage doors
going down

Bob Lucky - Ethiopia

blue drowns the bridge lightning makes of us

Mark Harris - U.S.A.

thunderclap!
the doll’s eyes open
close

Mark E. Brager - U.S.A.

sudden downpour
each passerby wears
the same frown

summer solstice
rain drops dilute
my father's grappa

summer ginko
writing in tune
with the rain

Quendryth Young - Australia

we snuggle close
the river dimpling
in morning rain

Gavin Austin - Australia

river tubing
we drift in and out
of reality

G.R. LeBlanc - Canada

to let go
where the falls
drum stone

laughing
as I dodge the sprinkler –
summer rainbow

double rainbow
he watches
my index finger

Magdalena Banaszkiewicz - Poland

starless summer night
a little light shines
in the back of the police car
