Sudden rain will there be a rainbow? Patches of bright blue sky peep through clouds Raindrops cease petrichor scent rises

Jan, your adorable poem evokes a sense of hope and rebirth by capturing the ephemeral beauty and transience of nature, especially the interaction between rain and the appearance of a rainbow.

Sweet and cute! When I looked up the word petrichor, I read a nice word: The petrichor never fails to take me back to my childhood. Best wishes, hugs
