Rumbling Ways

I can taste the rain, smell the rain, Feel it in the air But it isn't falling yet Holding back, playing fair Just the dampness, Stirring with gray clouds Until it's enough to storm A sky will bellow loud Nature yells in ways What is it trying to say? I can taste the rain Before it speaks its rumbling ways Heidi Sands 7/1/19

I love the smell of the air just before or just after a storm. Like your poem it is invigorating.

I can smell rain before it comes - it is better than the best perfume in the world - I breathe it in as if it gives me life - and the aftermath of rain, not heavy storms, is so enhancing. I love your poem Heidi, as I love the rain! Hugs and blessings Jennifer.

This is just perfect, Heidi. You have captured what we so often feel just prior to the rain, that heaviness / dampness in the air. Very, very nicely done! Best wishes, Gershon

Beautiful poetry, the coming of the storm. reminds me so much of the old farmers, here in the yorkshire dales, always knew of the pending storm, love the title and how its flows right to the end...

Being raised mostly in So. California I used to long for rain. After rain we could see the beautiful mountains. I can relate so well to your poem. You captured it perfectly Heidi! I loved this offering! xxoo

Oh, I love to see the mountains. We have them here and I have seen them in CA too. That must have been nice. Thank you for your kind comment Connie :)
