Event Specific

After the summer thundershower,

a cool breeze follows.

The rain water stands in puddles.

Wet birds shake their feathers

and chirp loudly.

She waits on the porch

for hours and hours

until darkness and dampness

force her inside.

Molasses tears run down

her cheeks.

She has never followed

The National Past Time.

His explanation 

of a “rain delay”

will strike out.
