Summer's Sturm und Drang

By: Melissa de Haan Cummings - Jul 25, 2015

Storm

so deep into writing
I didn't notice the raging
thunderstorm
until Grannie Cashman's
former woodbox
held a puddle so massive
it required six towels
for dry up
and the floor inside
had to let three
opposing windows down
northwest southwest
southeast
so the room warmed
while the crashing continued
chihuahuas confused
one in the hall
was unsure about
the bedroom
took himself under
the bed
as screens caught
the down pouring
