Good Morning Sara. This is vivid and clear and you once again stay true to the format including voice and tone. You left us with imagery of the moment in time. Thank you as always for sharing your skilled talent. Have a wonderful morning and day and enjoy the next rainstorm inside (smile). Peace and Blessings always. (another smile)

What a fantastic use of a few words to convey such depth of meaning, dear Sara. I appreciated how you handled something most of us have experienced and made it so vivid.

Ah yesterday i felt this so strongly! Everytime i read you i feel like you write for me my thoughts and emotions! So powerful! And resonates strongly, as there were so bad thunderstoms, and i was so glad that i was inside. And not out in the rain. I can also smell the scent of rain through your words and that picture goes so well with your senryu! Pleasure reading you always

dear Ink--you're so kind...maybe I do write just for you....maybe our wavelengths are 'in tune.' :-) Sorry to hear you experienced intense storms yesterday. They can be unnerving. I'm grateful my poem triggered your senses. Delighted. I look forward to your comments. They always touch my heart and soul. Have a glorious day, Sara

Hi Sara, How wonderfully descriptive and yet so succinct. Must be the style ? I loved the way you took a known experience to most of us and made it so sensory.

I never minded the rain so long as I didn't get wet. Let the thunder rumble. Lovely imagery. Blessings.

thanks for your visit, Victor. I'm grateful you enjoyed the imagery. I, too, am fascinated with storms...something comforting about thunder off in the distance. Hard to explain. Have a blessed day, Sara

I love the smell of rain in the air. This paints olfactory memories for me Sara. I can hear the distant rumble. Thank you! :)

Best place to be is indoors when there’s a rainfall. The sound and smell of a downpour is delightful from behind a closed door. A lovely Senryu Sara.. Blessings, Belle

I agree with you...during a downpour I'd prefer to be inside behind a closed door, listening and smelling the rain. Thanks for stopping by. Have a blessed day, Sara
