The high pressure winds
Continue, now seven days
Of red flag warnings
Wild fires and allergies
We fight morning, noon and night

Wind advisory ⚠️ #Tanka
Violent winds thrash
Autumn colors stripped, barren
Leaves scurried away
Playful pups give chase and taste
With confused look on their face
Southern Hades of California
When I stepped outside
I felt the breath of Hades
Tempting me to hide
Run, run, run away
From the U.V. burning rays
Of the mid-day blaze
To or from unknown
Slipped there and through the backdraft
Of love, hell and back
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.
Lightning Strikes
OctPoWriMo 8 of 31
Mother Nature takes the stage
Waves surge in a fit of rage
Perfectly clear blue skies
Yet lightning does strike
Claiming a young life
Unbelievable strife

I took this picture from Venice Beach, and off in the distance I saw emergency crew gathering as I was packing up to leave. Later that night, as I was watching the 11 o’clock news, I learned that a young life was taken by a freak thunderstorm – R.I.P. Nicholas Fagnano. LA Times News Article
