Rain drops collide with mid afternoon heat
thunder’s timpani roll in loud rumbles
the conductor excitedly increases the tempo
light flashes as the cymbals strike
leaves clap their hands
trees bow in deference
the moon’s light brightens the sky
nature hushes waiting for a silvery banquet
fire flies approach the dance floor
spinning their partners in charged ecstasy
summer beads off my brow as I watch day’s end

Thank you for visiting Moondustwriter. One of the many exciting things I've had the honor of doing is writing with an E. African team that is developing elementary curriculum for African children. As a writer, it is a thrill to help children (on all continents) who want to learn.
I've been part of the blogging community for more than 10 years. Some old timers may remember the award winning (2011 Twitter Shorty ) blog community - One Stop Poetry. I was the co-producer of that fast growing blog community.
I am a published writer, poet, artist and photographer. I have written, as well as edited, for periodicals, radio, blogs and fellow writers.
There are many facets to this moon - thanks for stopping by.

Enjoyed this poem and what a lovely description. I could see the trees bowing and leaves clapping. Your poem reminded me of fireflies. It’s hard to find them in city but I really love them.
