Kim Rodrigues Poet Verse

Raindrops End

satisfying sound, raindrops end—
swooshing of dark-wet, late green branches

intensifying quiet of morning
thunder and lightning rescind—
mourning absentee birds

there’s no sun
as Autumn comes,
apples
ornamental—
in sodden basket
of orchard.
sweetness
lies on ground
rolled in
debris of
sticks and stones.
whispering zephyr
coolness in its aplomb.
choice
lovelies brim on trees.

the waterlogged bark
with placidity of dawn—
sudden break of chirps

Joseph P. DiMino September 17, 2020 at 7:53 AM Very nicely said, Kim; I use to enjoy driving in a gentle rain -- less traffic on the streets, and a freshness to the air that one can taste and feel though every pore of ones being. Kim Rodrigues September 17, 2020 at 7:59 AM Truly is refreshing :) Thanks, Joe!
