yellow brick road
the shuffle of fear and angst
in earth tremors

earth tremors -
the balm of tea after
how consoling

Still trembling from Tuesday's 6.9 so my art and haiku today are thus inspired

sky a perfect azure -
violent earth tremors
stay in yesterday

Yesterday? just another normal day for A Rainy Season. Heavy rain showers and overcast skies. The kind of rain you brave it with an umbrella, dodging chores in between the downpours. The back gate rattles, the gardener backs his car into the driveway. Armed with his paraphernalia of waka, blower, fertilizers; he works through the overcast. Leaving behind a neatly clipped and fertilized lawn and pruned bougainvillea.
All is well in the conscious minds of the nonscientific watchers. Rainy season days are like that

Until the Epicenters and such like begin their dastardly games. I read somewhere a long time ago a legend which say that there are giant turtles holding up earth and sometimes they get tired and then!! is us to catch. Earthquake of yesterday a 6.8 according to The Seismic Unit at St Augustine, though there have been reports from other sources of Magnitude 7.3 earthquake Affected countries: Grenada, Venezuela, and Trinidad and Tobago 22 km from Rio Caribe, Sucre, Venezuela · 5:31 PM

The flag of Trinidad and Tobago was adopted upon independence from the United Kingdom on 31 August 1962. Designed by Carlisle Chang (1921–2001)the flag of Trinidad and Tobago was chosen by the independence committee of 1962. Red, black and white symbolize fire (the sun, representing courage), earth (representing dedication) and water (representing purity and equality)

Kristjaan prompts to haiku after listening to "Especially the music genre known as Sufiana Kalam. Sufiana Kalam is the classical music of Kashmir, which uses its own ragas (known as maqam), and is accompanied by a hundred-stringed instrument called the santoor, along with the Kashmiri saz, the setar, the wasool and the dokra. The dance based on the sofiyiana kalam is the hafiz nagma."
