Rain

The thunder rolled sounding like drum beats
 it played a solo tune across the dark skies
 lightning displayed different formations 
as it struck the damp earth below
 wind picked up wildly blowing
 all within its path.....
The sun refused to shine
as the rain heavily pelted down
the earth became soaked in minutes
water began to run down the crevices
the lightning and thunder slowly subsided
leaving only the sound of the heavy pouring rain.

We certainly needed the rain Anne Lise and glad we finally were able to get some so it inspired this poem. Thanks

Rain always cheers me because of the freshness in the aftermath. But Midwest storms terrify me because of their sheer power. Still, I love reading poems about rain. I hope you are having better weather now my friend? Cheers, Connie 7
