A Chilly Rainy Afternoon

A Chilly Rainy Afternoon

In the chill of the afternoon
the light rain steadily fell—
soaking the rich green field

Just as the rain tapered off 
to a slight mist, a flock of blackbirds
swooped down, ambushing
thirsty unaware frolicking worms

With the lapse of time, the rain ceased
and the blackbirds departed—
leaving a lone squirrel undulating across
the watery green field.
