Impaled Peaches
Peaches grow in fields aglow with
Sunlight in the summer
Feeling warm, the coming storm, it
Threatens them with thunder
Clouds advance with breezes blowing
Showers show no sign of slowing
Hail impales the peaches where they slumber
Bees abuzz with peachy fuzz fly
Flagging through the flowers
Trees are flecked with sparkling specks of
Water from the showers
Petals catch the raindrops’ drumming
Hear the summer birds are humming
The river takes the rain away
The moss is soaked for days
Pitted peaches while away the hours
Sunlight in the summer
Feeling warm, the coming storm, it
Threatens them with thunder
Clouds advance with breezes blowing
Showers show no sign of slowing
Hail impales the peaches where they slumber
Bees abuzz with peachy fuzz fly
Flagging through the flowers
Trees are flecked with sparkling specks of
Water from the showers
Petals catch the raindrops’ drumming
Hear the summer birds are humming
The river takes the rain away
The moss is soaked for days
Pitted peaches while away the hours
