#ThrowdownThursday (5/3/18): Dryness… my latest #Haibun on .@ImageCurve

Dust falls through my fingers. I reach down and grab another handful. Sage and withered birch are all that break up the ashen plain. There should be light, but too many thunderclouds blot out the sun.

another rumble
not a drop falls from the
midnight black sky

    The tension of the approaching storm is palpable in your haibun, Frank.

    I do remember those empty thunderclouds… in the dessert you can only trust the dust.

    Love this haibun, especially the haiku. Empty threats can be so intimidating.

    Thunder without rain is equivalent to empty threats.. 💜 Beautiful haibun, Frank 😊

    There’s something apocalyptic about the atmosphere, Frank, more than just an impending storm. Gave me the shivers.
