Paul Callus Poet Verse

Notes About The Poem

Summer Rebels

When
           raindrops
               fall
              upon
            unwary
           trembling
             leaves
            summer
       shakes his head
      and wonders why
          rebels dare
               defy
                his
             patient
        lenient mood;
             time to
               turn 
             on the
              heat.
