(mostly) short poems on life and love

cloudburst

September 8, 2023 by Michael Guerin

a downpour slaps
mildewed concrete
abutting my sliding door,

its staccato applause
echoing the low rumble
of distant thunder.

beyond my backyard’s
freshly mown lawn,
a grove of oaks

soak in much needed rain
and stretch
heavy limbs skyward

while cast in shadows
i contemplate
dancing barefoot outside.
