any meter, or line length but all lines in the same meter
past six o'clock in evening's pewter dim
near ninth & chestnut church bells chime
to the south south-west spring storm"s brim
rain taps a welcome to potted lavender & thyme
thunder clatters stars amongst the gray
near ninth & chestnut church bells chime
quiet rumble borders day's edges fray
rain fills the silver hollows of the road
thunder clatters amongst the gray
rain fills the silver hollow of the road
green earth waking at the tap
sweet rain the oak tree bows
folded spring's flowers water wrapped
sunlight dimmed at twilight
green earth waking at the tap
we await storm's quickening cool rumble
past six o'clock in evening's pewter dim
sunlight dimmed at twilight
to the south south-west spring storm"s brim
