Blessed Rain

As nimbus clouds begin to darken skies
There gleams a sense of wonder in my eyes,

Eyes that sparkle lightning in the sky.
I stand transfixed as thunder rages high

As I feel first soft droplets touch my skin
Elated by the rain storm and its din,

I dance with joy to celebrate the rain
With drought a memory to come again,

And as I taste the power of this storm
In purity of water that takes form,

Saving thirsty animals in our keep,
In sweet merciful gratitude I weep.

After the storm as nimbus clouds take flight
Petrichor's scent enchants me through the night.

This is really good! Reminds me of taking walks in the rain, which my wife and I used to love to do. I can almost smell the rain! Very vivid! Congratulations on your win!

Each couplet is absolutely lovely. I see this poem placed and I'm not surprised. I was unable to come up with anything new for 'senses' and didn't enter this contest. I love how you and your muse rolled this out. Love ... CayCay

Your imagery makes rain seem like the best thing ever, and I do believe it is one of them. Nicely penned, as usual, Connie.

Connie, the simple and elegant way you did this challenge is wonderful. I wish I could have narrowed mine down like this! I love how you kept it all about the rain.
