Question: Do you like evening storms!?
Storm coming
by C!.S!. Scotkin

Winds chastise trees;
some oranges will never
see the dawn of December!.

Winds spit sand
through the screens
my chair rocks crazily…

Suddenly cooler
by twenty degrees
of separation from the day!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

An interesting visual piece of prose "Winds spit sand" I like that!.

When I was a kid, oh, some 70 years ago now!. I would sit on an old sofa up in my bedroom which overlooked a field!. I would watch the lumbering dark clouds roll in on thunderous wheels!. All against a background of a slate blue of the sky!.

From my Summer Kitchen/study I watch the storms over the waters!. I prefer afternoon storms, so that I can see Ocean in all his moods!.

To me, an afternoon storm can be an afternoon delight!.

Winds gather up whispered leafy thoughts
soaked by the mornings dew and then send them
spraying down on me, leaving their essence
seeping into my hair, dripping into my mind!.
