RAINEY DAZE OBSERVATIONS......

****************************

CONCLUSION

Southern summers end

with September.

Leaves slowly turn from bright silvery green

to darker, Hooker’s green

 filtered with oxide colors.

Reds, yellows splash here and there

like a painter’s palette

signaling the approach of Autumn.

Southern summers end

with rains beginning.

Heavy downpours,

oversized water droplets falling hard,

falling fast,

splashing high,

leaving reflective puddles.

The sky, the clouds lay there on the ground

within small lakes disappearing quickly

as the rains cease.

Sky and clouds escape into the ground,

sucked up into oblivion.

Southern summers end

as the rumbling Gods move their deep voices

and electric fingers

away with the dark, traveling clouds,

leaving room for the sun pushing through,

heating puddle remnants,

water vapor rising,

steamy,

Southern summer lingering.
