Daedal ... Drops

Today’s word is “daedal” ... deed-l ... skillful; ingenious. (Dictionary.com)

Drops
A great storm’s rolling in,
     the daedal clouds have been 
           layered by a sky artist,
Dangling leaves begin to whisper,
     urged to movement
          by a building breeze.
Soon, tiny branches give way,
     pushed from their places ...
          pelted by tiny raindrops.
Lightning flashes a fearsome message,
     a warning of things to come,
And then, without warning,
     the sun appears.
The threat is gone and everything
     returns to routine. The forecast
           wrong again.
Predicting the future, it seems,
     comes with no guarantee.
