Chasing
Chill
summer breezes
to scuttle
the scorching
heat
Seeking
Shielded
soothing shade
to escape
the sun’s galling
glare
Requesting
Sudden
noontime showers
to relieve
earth’s desperate
thirst
Tag: rain
Dark and Stormy
Clouds crash
drizzle devolves
into drencher
Temperatures will
tumble
shift rain
into snow
Making morning
commute
slippery and slow
Clouds
crash drizzle
devolves into drencher
He must rise
early
to weather
his winter adventure
Unspoken
promises urge him:
Go
Clouds
crash
drizzle devolves
into drencher
Temperatures will
drop shift
rain into snow

Sunday drive
down sunflower bordered
backroads
pressed down by smoky skies
Borne of western fires
Clouds tease
this parched land
thirsting for succor
from endless
abusive seasons
Droplets descend
on dry river
beds
delivering
desperate hope
