Onset of gray skies Looks like rain today My child just sighs Pulls toys out for play A whistle of wind Then a bright flash of light It’s starting, I think Hope it’s done by tonight My windows I close But I leave cracked the door I love the air’s scent Before a downpour Soon rain begins Unrelenting and thick Along with hail's chatter Like a clock’s slow tick. A huge clap of thunder Rolls past my house With companions of lightning And wind all about The storm raged for hours As clouds changed to white And again back to dark One more show of might And then it was over Limbs strewn, all was wet I opened my windows And took in the scent Of a clear, green land Robust and well fed Washed back to a virgin Ready to be had.

Wendi,

You can smell it in the air before it comes; you hear the announcement of impending arrival; you smell it during the storm (mainly fear LOL); you smell the refreshment of air, cleansed afterwards: a wonderful capture of the birth and death cycle of a storm in beautiful lines (rhyming, yet): my ultimate compliment: wish I'd written this.

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

I love the scent of the land after a down poor. This is a very well done decriptive poem. Victor

At sunrise or sunset, it's always the same...the water becomes Nature's reflective surface...and we see more than we could ever have imagined!
