Tropical clime at best

T’is calm ‘ere the rain
Wind nippy at dusk
Making joints to pain
Teeth, chatter, to task

Birds back to nest
In an envelope, dark
Awaiting the tempest
To make its mark

From afar, small deal
On site, t’is more serious
Brollies and coats for real
The deluge will be furious

Lasts a while ,then abates
Tropical clime at best
The land now procreates
Dust to put, to rest

The rhythm and rhyme
To repeat many a time
