Water Sprites on a Tin Roof (Ty Bard from On the Roofs of Zion Copyright 2014) Distant, droning thunder Swampy, humid air Afternoon in summer Lazing, but aware - Aware of creaking tin Pinging from the heat, Weeping clouds and then Heavy drops. The beat, Beat plopping on metal – Soothing sounds, as rain Thrums and rings then settles Down to soft refrain, Like a hollow rumbling of horse’s hoofs – Dancing sprites of water on a tin clad roof. tybard
