Outside I See

The sun that baked the sky to dry

has found a way to say, “Good-bye.”

It’s behind the clouds that covered fast,

waiting for the sky to blast

lightning and thunder herds

of cumulus and stratus blurs.

*******


The lawn awaits my fast attention

to gather up the blades’ contention

for rising tall, too tall for me

to please the local ‘munity.

Therefore, I must stop this revelry

of writing of my reverie,

and get myself

and all my girth

out atop the green-clad earth.

Point of info:
By the time I got out the mow the lawn, the clouds were almost tot'ly gone. So now it's hot and sunny, too, no cool for me, now, how 'bout you?

It is about 10 degrees cooler than yesterday, though, I think.

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.
