Late Rain at North Lake
The early rains have started late
Old roads lie muddy near North Lake
Wild quail erupt behind the trees
Exploding near in front of me
And further down the way a hedge
To guide one to the water's edge
Bullfrogs in chorus croak their songs
Each one competes to sound most strong
A wood duck quacks as he floats by
Reflections from the sun and sky
Which play upon it's dappled form
With promises of coming warmth
The lake appears to be intact
Despite past winters fierce attacks
Old roads lie muddy near North Lake
