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.
