The Mood of August


The mood of August
swung
capriciously
as summer rain struck
at
random
a grasshopper
is complaining
about a damp
backyard
wondering
how it feels like
to sleep
quietly
in the dry
air of 
Au-
tumn

  1. Yun Yi, I love the simplicity of this poem, yet it's so descriptive I can see that grasshopper!

  3. You're welcome! I love summer but not the humidity! :) I'm on the East Coast now but for 20 years I had moved from NJ to CA and boy, did I love the hot, dry weather! But I've been back on the East Coast now since '96 and do miss the nice CA climate.
