 Coming Storm in acrylic by AV Rotor, 

Brisbane, Australia August 5 2023

 

Old folks warn of a coming storm:

     one side is quiet and placid, 

the other disturbing and eerily calm;

     there's but little time to bid.  

Soon the sky closes into darkness,

     the valley a roaring river;

 fowls to their coops take shelter,

     hurry up the children for cover.

Before the forecast flashes on screen,

     parents on top of their voice,

urge the boys to immediately get home;

     but boys are always boys.

Braving the wind, singing in the rain,

     in the flood wading, giggling;

wait until they too, grow up like us,

     guided by our warning.  ~
