Autumn Arrives

The torrential rains
Poured into September with a vengeance 
As the black clouds were driven in
By autumn winds,
Giving summer a sudden farewell. 
Crushing my fading petunias
As the leaves along the dike
Were painted all shades of gold
And pushed to the sodden ground.

Ingrid, I would love a rainstorm. Torrential rains wipe everything clean. Thunder is praise enough. Sorry for your petunias. They will return. -Richard
