October Tropics


Jungle fruit trees look bare and sorrow
Their uncollected sweetness is rotting away

Puffy rain clouds that hover opaque waves
Are wondering where to drift next this fall

Droplets that drizzle on leaves’ steaming ground
Feel unable to quench a waning day’s heat

But when midnight unleashes the inevitable storm
Eerie voices whirl and scream

The roaring rain hammers my steel drum roof
And waters rise with croaking frogs

When the curtains of night cede to mellow aurora light
Orange pillars rise to a new hot day

That's an October tropic alright. I've lived in such climate and I would do it again if I could. Your poem made me homesick -- it was so real. Thank you.
