Robert A. Dufresne Poet Quintain (Sicilian)

Nature's Superdome

There is no thing I have seen like the Florida sky,
Mushroom towers build on bulging dark pillows,
when storm clouds tumble o’er birds on the fly.
Haphazardly honed and shaped by front’s bellows.
Nature daily debuted for my beauty hungry eye.





written 7/10/11
(In Florida, a short afternoon thunderstorm 
in the heat of the day during Summer months
is almost a daily occurrence.)

Wilma Neels July 11, 2011 at 5:47 AM This reminds of the Northern Cape one of SA's provinces. Where it can be sunny the one moment and the next you can be soaking wet and just as easily the sun would dry your clothes again.. Enjoyed this beauty Bob.. Hope your weekend's been good :) lfde Wilma
