Relief Rain

Those of you in Texas and the midwest may not appreciate this. It is sad, some are getting far too much rain. Right now we are crying for some of it.


Poem Artwork

Orographic rain is caused in the following way.


The warm moisture laden wind is blowing through the day.


 


It encounters a mountain and is force to rise


Which causes the air to expand in size.


 


Now the air has risen and experiences a decrease it’s temperature.


This is shown when we watch, using a thermometer.


 


The relative humidity contines to increase till it has reached the level of condensation


And the clouds become heavy and the rain falls greeted by the Earth, trees and flowers with great jubilation.


 


The falling rain sustains life on our Earth, without it our grass turns brown and our crops hard to grow.


The rain is the promise of life for the seeds which we sow.


 


They will not survive except for the rain which replenishes the ground.


So on those gray rainy days, stop and realish in the sound.


 


The rain falls and life is sustained


For all of life depends upon the rain.

You got that right, Lew. Without rain we would not survive. Good write, the first of many I hope to read of your works.

LOL at the StormSpinner's review below; ain't it the truth!

Here's hopin' you get the needed relief from the drought situation there; we're tryin' to aim it your way, but it keeps a missin'! Not good! Very well penned account of the drought!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in Tx., Karen Lynn. :D

The StormSpinner is trying to aim it your way. LOL We've had enough, but almost afraid to ask God to turn off the waterworks: happened last year, two years ago, we were burning UP. We'll take any relief we can get (even though we've had too much). LOL One thing, though, the temps have been GREAT. Haven't hit 100 degrees yet (and by now, we'd have plenty to get heated up about). Keep praying, Lew, don't give up, it will be there soon. (And when it does, you'll be saying, 'ENOUGH alreddy...') Excellent pen.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

It truly does - and it truly is The Elixir of Life. And I truly hope you get some very soon.

Move to Louisiana--we are in the rain forest--It has been raining every day for well over a month. Can't keep up with grass cutting. Marguerite (so true--all life is sustained by rain)except when too much is too much
