August rain: the best of the summer gone*
by Sharmagne Leland-St.John

Late August
waiting for the rain:
monsoons that pelt the
dry summer terrain, best
days dwindling, days of
picnics and regattas the
last days of summer
soon I too shall be gone...


*(After Sylvia Plath's August rain: the best of the summer gone)
