Thunderstorm, Slocanada, 15 June 2018

The rain, which had persisted,
Gave off a heavy
Smell of fish and mud.

Sorry. Wrong place for that poem,
Which is the same as saying
Wrong tip-in in time.

It was a huge, gorgeous day,
White clouds and white caps
Down at the shore of the lake.

You could guess a thunderstorm
Might be coming, but who is
Ever absolutely sure?

Lightning split the sky
Into two skinny sonnets.
