This was a school assignment: 06-07

Haikus:

Filled with stormy clouds
The rain filled sky darkens as
Colors mix and churn

Raindrops fall softly
Whispering they fall, they are
Diamonds from the sky

Free Verse:

The Secret Storm

Clouds are silent spirits
Filled with mysteries
The raindrops are their secrets
That they try to whisper to the ground

No one can hear them
Only soft whispers of a sound
Above the noisy thunder
Their secrets stay best untold

Next time the sky rains down
If you listen close
You might here them whisper
Their mysterious secrets

And my own time

The clouds are silent spirits
They send whispers in the rain
The gentle breeze that carries them
Is filled with love and pain

The clouds, they send their secrets
They send their mystery
To the ground in raindrops
Where they break free

Secrets are all around us
They creep silently in the night
They travel down the gutter
Until the morning light

But as soon as they hit the ground
And the sun comes out to play
The whispers and the secrets
Evaporate away

Tilla Ophelia Marsh
