sherku: windows two

On the other

Hand frustrating

To know it won't

Last after

The rains have come

sherku: calculate

If we knew
How much rain
A leaf could
Hold before
It tips to
Let it all go

sherku: one wet

My sweat drips
Road steam rises
Trees shimmer
With weight of
The summer
Rain makes one

sherku: rain

So many deaths
So much sorrow
Whole earth shedding
Tears of pain
Seagulls take flight



What is a sherku?    

sherku: orange chairs

Bright orange chairs
Aren’t you glad to
Sit and rest 
Out of the 
Raining issues



What is a sherku?

sherku: winter rain

The winter rain brings
no vista view
get out to see
your local world up close



The scene I found when running one morning that inspired this writing:

What is a sherku?

sherku: masquerade

With the leaves down
A chill in the air
The rain clouds can
Masquerade
As snow clouds


What is a sherku?

sherku: remembering

The rains came
For so long
Now chased by the sun
Will I remember
How to grill?

sherku: all for you

Did my writing 
To clear my head 
Did my running 
To clear my legs 
All for you

sherku: in the moment

In the moment
Running, sweating
In the rain
I pray to be
One with the world


composed on the run, Sunday 8/22/10

dogwood blooms

Dogwood blooms dance in sun light
Lifted by the breeze; weight
Of the rain water gone

What is a sherku?

Time to run

Meeting canceled, this frees time
To go for a run
In the rain before dinner

What is a sherku?

dogwood bloom

delicate yellow counter points
dogwood blooming bent with
the weight of water

What is a sherku?

Inspired by Amy Palko's posting here and the picture that resulted here

sherku: rain cell

Sitting in the back parking lot
Cell phones banned from the hospital
It rains

What is a sherku?
