Tadpole tails flap!
Lightning strikes, zip-zap!
Showers rinse, splish-splash!
Gulp, sip from sun's cup!

Aimlessly I meander in expansive barren-landscape
Whipped by the assault of rustling windy gales
Embossing sandy designs resembling ocean waves
Simulating pools of water in mirage of seascapes.

Plateaus...

CELTIC GIRL
So like a morning summer rain
and it's thundering

like only she can sing.

She has an Irish sort of smile
