The weatherman was wrong.
My back yard is now a raging river.
I'm no expert
but as we speak
a traveling mass of dead leaves and dirt
has clogged the storm drain
and is forming a brown island
reaching towards a gray sky
obscuring mountainous peaks.
The weatherman didn't know
that it would pour
only that there was a
chance of showers.
Swirling streams now converge
on yesterday's cracked soil
flooding crevices
And a thick green carpet
threatens to overtake
and cover the curb.
So be sure to carry an umbrella
and apply your sunscreen
Because being mere lay people
of average intelligence
who live in screened houses
with glass windows
we can't even hope
to predict the weather.
Enjoy!

I was photographing the raging stream in my back yard probably about the same time you were writing this. Here's a link to my video on facebook:
