Ceaseless, overnight rain
Early morn’s swollen creek
Flowing outside its bank
Nature ready to tweak
Smaller tributaries
Never to be left out
Gathering their volume
Flood’s growing runabout
Cloud’s river of moisture
Lengthy, not finished yet
Forecasting gloomy skies
Weather’s headlines typeset
Sun planning its comeback
But not for day or two
Waiting with humble song
Nature croons springtime blues
