Autumn Storm

Wind in the trees
Rushing
Bending branches, tossing leaves,
Gusting
Blowing
Lifting hats, ruffling hair

Drumming rain
Slanting
Beating on people and dogs
Wetting
Soaking
Raindrops dancing, gaily abandoned,
On puddles,
Ponds for seagulls amongst the grass.

Wild, stroppy weather.
An autumn storm
Crossing the Meadows.
