All Around us, but Nary a drop…

OOPS, I KINDA LIED...STORMS HAVE OVERCOME US...


Poem Artwork


T-storm cells do us surround,

Flashes of light do around us abound,

Not one though drop of rain,

On my browning grass I am going to pour champagne…

 

No thunder boom-booms to now mention,

In the air I can feel though an electrical tension,

Rufuz hears something, his ears at attention,

The first strike will bring for him immediate apprehension…

 

Hopes I had this Sunday past,

After washing & waxing the company truck,

That rain would come to set the wax,

Then for the rest of the week, Rufuz could relax,

But that was not to be so, hopefully tonight is the last…

Nice poem Ed! We finally got some rain a few days ago. You could ear the collective sighs of the rose bushes. Last for all of five min. Then you heard the lavender use profanity in the most "flowery" way!

It's just as well you dont have him fenced in...or he would've dug under the fence, or lifted the roller door, LIKE MY PAIR OF LOONEYS DO, when we get the heavy thunderies here LOL....Does he dive under the bed?
Or is there no room, coz your under there first LOL...
Take care, and put ear muffs on his ears.

In the air I can feel though an electrical tension,
Rufuz hears something, his ears at attention,

Now that's poetic - and hunker down, we don't want either one of you getting zapped.
