“Although we await…” a #tanka (8/4/20)

8/4/20: prompt-free

Although we await

Tropical Storm Isaias

a calm remains

as cloud-covered sunlight

continues to shine

Very atmospheric! This captures the calm before the storm very nicely.

I am in NC, and we experienced some Isaias – didn’t seem that bad where I lived, but perhaps it was worse in other places?

  We lost power for almost five full days. A tree that fell across the road and knocked over power lines stayed untouched for two days. It was a hot mess!
