I celebrate the nimbus clouds stealthly gathering in a silent sky. No great claps of thunder to shock my senses, no lightning bursts, As the rain begins like tender tears then cascades in stormy sheets. Let the rain seep deep into my cells, into my serene soul. Let my passion grow until petrichor is all that I breathe. Radiance of the sun soon filters through colored cotton clouds Creating a rainbow in cool mist as, diamond drops dazzle my adoring eyes, mirrors my joys, stills my hopeful heart. My senses are glorified in the aftermath of the sudden storm. Rivulets from tiny pools run free, sharing their sweet abandonment... imbued and autumn hued. Winds morph into balmy breezes and all is at equanimous ease except my heart yearning for more. 10-30-17 *Note: We seldom have any thunder or lightning in our tropical storms which makes them pleasant encounters. Some of us dance in the rain because it isn't cold. TITLE: Hawaiian Storm From My Diary: Nature - 5th Place Enter A Poem Called, From My Diary - Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Broken Wings

Wow! A composition that is a model of poetic excellence. Such imagery! Such flow! Such a message! And such closing two lines. Masterfully done, Connie. It's enough to find me guilty of covetousness. Hugs, always, Paul

So full of feel and emotion. Another 'pausing' for me, some poems are so imagery, beauty and meaning loaded that I must let it seep into me. This is one such. Your imagery is spectacular, yet it is minimized in line length which makes it especially admirable. Hugs ... CayCay

Dancing in the rain...I would love that Connie. We have "soft rain" here, but not often warm enough to dance it.

Your diary must be a joy to read, Connie, if it contains beautiful extracts such as this poem! Storms without lightning and thunder don't sound at all bad, and I love the petrichor smell. ~ Regards // paul
