I was watering the vegetable garden , a rainbow appeared where the stream divided , a thousand individual prisms colorfully disseminated , fell to the ground The humidity screamed for absolution on a calm , cloudless Dog Day of Summer ,  the supplication , denied ! Falling upon deaf ears .. Front porch rocking chairs , ceiling fans strain under the fiery siege of August, fly strips gently sway beneath their mediocre output .. Popsicle sticks and Orange Crush bottles are covered in ants , Guinea wasp light upon the window screens , children laugh in the distance Jonesboro was under fire , continuous cloud to ground lightning Stockbridge laid under the gun , preparing for the onslaught , clothes lines in need of attention , garbage cans , hanging baskets and welcome mats brought indoors ! If it's raining over my house , it's most assuredly raining all over the world . The steam poured off the blacktop later that night , a future storm over someone else tomorrow ? The burden of streetlight apparent , consumed in the difficulty of night , I am in recognition of such plight ! My star struggles to find its place , tears recycle into storm drains , transpire , flood defenseless habitats such as mine ! Five o'clock in the morning , ceiling fans work their magic for now ! Crepuscular wildlife , a chemically afflicted depressive replays his familiar lot in life ...
