First Rain

cool, moist breeze blowing
sweat-soaked smiles light up faces
airborne petrichor

wailing wind whooshes 
fluttering clothes flap in joy
botox treat for earth

drizzle, soft sizzle 
scattering kids on the run
monsoon makes its mark

Thank you, Andrea. The wrinkles on dry parched earth do get a fresh look after the rains.
