Blood Weeps (Chained Haiku)

by Jenni Marie   Feb 27, 2013


Pitch black clouds cover
red stained sky; while the heavens
will weep blood tonight.

Howling wind echoes
earth shudders distastefully
nature cries alone.

Torrents splashing down
splatters upon turbid ground
weeping; broken earth.

    ^^I like this artistic background you have painted with words! I can just see it so clearly.

    while the heavens
    will weep blood tonight.

    ^^This one stood out for me. We are so used to seeing a sunny morning, a tranquil evening but to see heaven "weeping blood" is an interesting interpretation of what is to follow.

    Howling wind echoes
    earth shudders distastefully
    nature cries alone.

    ^^A heart rendering image here for any nature lover to see her cry alone while the wind whips her..I like this part!

    Torrents splashing down
    splatters upon turbid ground
    weeping; broken earth.

    ^^Reading this part created an image of a woman been battered and beaten and finally sitting in a corner, broken and crying. That is what is happening to nature right now, for man is destroying her.

    Overall, a heart capturing nature write. Loved the read :)
