When it rains it pours

Four in the morning
Rain beats the windows and doors
Battering my heart ❤️
Till emotions are pouring
Issuing flash flood warnings ⚠️

The Chill

Ominous clouds roll

Inland from the Pacific

Paralyzing Californians

~

Falling from the sky

Forcing rock, land and mud slides

Destruction arrived

~

Flash flood alerts ignored

Stupidity observed on TV

Doesn’t surprise me

~

Luxury of warmth

Remains safe and sound indoors

Sipping hot coffee

~

Mother Nature reigns

Providing the drought relief

Desperately needed

This is my first time participating in Heeding haiku with HA over on Mindlovemisery’s Menagerie.
