Monsoon

We had a major thunder, lightening, rain storm last night, the first of the season. Very big, covered most of the Yucatan, Belize and Guatemala.

Monsoon drifted down from the arm of the sea,,
Mixed with continent-sized clouds of smoke
Burning cane, sugar sweet and fiery,
With the night the first lightening stroke.

West wind faded as north dominated,
Came the rain in a vicious shower,
The roar on the roof never abated,
The tropical storm is the deluge’s power.

The air washed clean of sugar cane ash,
Fine dirt has mixed on rain-soaked floor,
Mud stains spot on every window sash,
Monsoon’s over but we brace for more.

(abab form) Difficult to flow. I think aabb is much easier.
