Rockfowl

Days still ripe with heat

But hidden reds are showing

Mask of green is gone.

Fleeting summer storm

Conjures billowed cloud from blue

Rain shreds through gray sky.

Waters rush to edge

Briefly slow to flow like smoke

Drop with heavy crash.

Single round ripple

Breaks green forest reflection

Swimming on blue sky.

Sunrays streaming down

Erupting from hole in sky

Torn between dark clouds.

Snaking through forest

Stream winds a watery trail

Sinuous white waves.

Harvest of season

Ripening in August heat

Seeds of future fields.
