the subtle overture before it rains
a sonic jag for jabbers isn’t jaded
the jamboree of jackdaws wanes invaded
by gusty emperors of clouds and vanes
a pair of puerile rooks as precious stones
adorn the foliaged crown with beaks wide-asking
the home is shoddy-built and roofless, basking
with rooking time for building lighter bones
a speechless jeremiad in the air
makes swallows swallow dust and search for shelter
the breeze is made of bees and out of kelter
and sheen – a moment thinner than a hair

What an ingenious jewel!
I'm blown away by your "gusty emperors of clouds and vanes"...
Strengly, it reminded me of Shakespeare's LXXIII sonnet
That time of year thou mayst in me behold
When yellow leaves, or none, or few, do hang
Upon those boughs which shake against the cold,
Bare ruined choirs, where late the sweet birds sang.
Bravo!

Milady,
These emperors are ready to die just right after kissing your hand.
with reverence,
IOuri :)
