Fresh Clean Scent

The beauty of Storm ---


Nature took the dingy grey
clouds between her hands, rubbing
them on the corregated
sky until they were white once
more.  She hung them, newly washed,
pinning them to bolts of light
to air out in the wind.  Now
everything has that fresh,
clean scent --- do love a good storm.

(c) 2008, Karla Dorman (5/15)

I agree with Kate on this one, this is your best write of all time Karla and the image you created is fresh and new and shines a whole new light on the after affects of weather. This could also be applied to the recent storm that has happened in the Den and hopefully when Matt and his crew get all the bugs out our second home will also smell fresh and clean.
