in the monsoon downpour last night
It poured cats, dogs, frogs
And pounding rain again (120 ml)
In 6 short beautiful thundering hours
In the lost time before dawn
I woke up laughing with the dog
Then went out the back to check
All of my green children
They were all in tact
Bless their little lime green hearts
So I perched in awe
Watching and listening
To the intensity
of it all..........
