9 Short Environmental Thoughts.
1
Spindly grey gums grow
Group rooted in valley base
Reaching up for space.
2
Skeletal spires sky spike
Paper bark gum flakes
Where treetops via for light.
3
Skeletal spires pierce
Skies where treetops fight for life
And ignore the space at gully base.
4
Gunmetal grey clouds
Serenity at sunrise
Alone, on the beach.
5
Steely grey, damp clouds
Fissured fingers etch the sky
Spot the earth with rain.
6
Rain promised grey clouds
Pierced by a bright , white sun
Sharpley, blinding sun.
7
Heavy rain breaks up
Mud hardened earth dust to mud
Drought breaking water.
8
Cratered earth, dusty cracks
New growth dies in arid dust
Time brings rain soaked life.
9
Soft rain, soft warm rain
An analgesic to the brain
Eco systems go spare.

Some good images here. Hope you don't mind, I added one of my own. It's been really wet in my part of the world.

Torrents of rain
hitting my face
spring drowns winter's charm.
