Driven from the sky,the midsummer sun
Under the deep stratus line
Belying the date of
Midsummer Equinox-
The longest day and a latent heat
As the jet- stream dips
A cooling air and veil of rain
Descends
And a sombre view prevails
To tune of the steady drip and
Splashes on the pond
And sodden grass
The die is cast
For the summer lot.
