It’s day eighteen of the 30 Day Writing Challenge, and today’s prompt is: Warning. When I read the prompt it made me think of the weather and how quickly it can change – in Melbourne they say you can experience all four seasons in one day, and when I lived there I soon learned to carry a cardigan, umbrella and sunglasses at all times.

So my response to the prompt is a cascade poem, and here it is:

Rain Dancer

Without warning

The weather changed

As we ran for cover

There were rumbles

From the west; clouds gathering

Without warning

Rain pelting down

Dark spots on bright cotton

The weather changed

She danced, arms wide

Rain cool on sun-warmed skin

As we ran for cover.
