Notes About The Poem

Image result for pictures of a small creek with rushing water after days of pouring rain

After a Stormy Week

After four days of charcoal clouds
With intermittent pouring rain
The longed for sunshine appeared
It's glory eased my pain

I told my husband let's go out
Visit nature's wonder
We road around the edge of forest
Enjoying each minute with no thunder

We rode by pomegranate bushes
Bursting from swollen seeds
Because of days of pouring rain
But the ground fairly free of weeds

Then downward to Swift creek
to see its capacity after the rain
It was up and stained but gone down
Since the last downpour's reign

Sound of fast water
rushing to the seas....
in the stillness~ calm

The rocky places sounded like
A small waterfall's music
Nothing at all like my writings
Most seem anacoluthic

Paula, The rushing water can be calming because of the negative ions. I hope you have some stream in your neighborhood to enjoy from time to time. Thanks for the visit to my page. Sara

Aw this is so beautiful with great imagery ... Your flowing imagery took me to that place where I could hear the sound of fast water rushing to the seas in silent stillness... I had to search for the meaning of the word 'anacoluthic'... and your writing is perfect and excellent Sara... Love and respect... ~ Ani
