Tsunami
volcano erupts
beachside village in peril --
monster 'neath the waves
water wall rises
tsunami washes ashore --
souls float on blue tide

Dust Devil 2
~ whirling breathing waves contain
shifting
signs that fog the mind
~
a weather phenomenon
rotates
columns of wind draft
~
arid and semi-arid
regions
blows loose sand and dirt

flattened by angry waves

Constant Dark Rain, Sturzregen, Aguacero
Pouring from leaden clouds
Flooding houses and gardens
A constant dark rain
Aus bleiernen Wolken
Flut in Häusern und Gärten
Endloser Sturzregen
De nubes plomizas
Inundando casas y jardines
Continuo aguacero

CYCLONE HAIKUS
Mighty trees once proud
No match for destructive winds
Toppled to the ground
Loud and angry howls
Powerful and mighty gusts
All heads bow in fear
Winds rage night and day
No way to cover our ears
To drown out the sound
