AN AUTUMNAL poem….

Thick slate swollen cloud cover

Embalms the sky and earth

Gentle pitter pats slowing soak the thirsty ground

Transforming into

Torrential torrents

A deluge

of welcome humidity, mists, sprays

Inside

Rivulets stream down windowpanes

Liquid glass on glass

Outside

Freshness pours downward

Collecting puddles in sidewalk depressions

Coveted stillness

Drips and drops

Drips and drops.
