Monsoon In The West

A classic wind upstaged the evening,
Vocalizing Leaves and Tremulous Aria 
Branches. On accompanying fused-sand, framed
and clear, began a run of finely tuned
rivulets -- busy writing, I had not
looked, and saw, dark clouds conjugating -- 
nor sniffed thickening troops of air~ my 
sinuses alerting, their usual swelling.  Came a lantern's
flash, came a vivid slash, rumbling
likened to a heavily weighted freight-train, with frantic
mind to lighten its burdensome, brooding load.

Writing out-of-doors could be inspiring. I'll try it when the wind is calm (to prevent riffled pages). A nice poem that causes me to think.

Wow! A lot going on in the west! This writing business keeps us from being aware of our surroundings or all too much! Lol
