Biting Rain

Rain is biting the building’s raspberry roof Making a meal hard like a cold blue tooth And the wind blows yes hear it wail A lone leaf floats like a boat with a sail Lightening strike as if bowling Knocking down pins some rolling Striking tree tops even some poles Hitting some crops even some souls You can survive lightning strike Just the same from it can die Surely you will have to agree Nature is a force of mystery

Biting rain is a good word for it. Mixed with wind, rain can bite. This is a realistic description.

Wonderful write Karen. Amazing how after thousands of years, we humans can't still control nature. It controls us

Agreed! So glad we are not able to because we would never agree on what is best and would likely destroy everything trying to push the envelope!

You must be a Californian. First the fires then the rains. Nature has its moods and tantrums for sure. Nice write
