Len Gasun Poet Suzette Prime

Notes About The Poem

A poem written with the inspiration of my previous contest, Rainy Days and on the new word I've learned, "Petrichor". 

 

Raindrops

silver strings play through lightning
in a tuneful duo with rolling thunder sound
the raindrops bounce and  jiggle
pounding and bouncing
in a rocking band
petrichor ascends
from a thirsty ground
saturates
like music
penetrates into my soul
each sound of nature
breath, listen, live and love it
a sheer joy and morsel of life which nurture

Andrea Dietrich October 21, 2014 at 4:11 PM wow, this is very nice. The way you likened the storm to an instrumental. So sweetly done, Leonora, you made excellent use of Suzette prime!! Len Gasun October 22, 2014 at 11:16 PM Thank you so much for your very wonderful feedback my dear friend Andrea. Yeah, I think most things in life make sense, so let's be happy, appreciate the weather and whatever life may offer since it is ephemeral my dearest friend. Thank you so much! Big hugs!

Daver Austin October 21, 2014 at 9:54 AM A kind of surreal tone poem. I don't know the word, petrichor. The rest is fascinating. Love, daver Len Gasun October 22, 2014 at 11:07 PM Yeah, it is my dear friend Daver, but let's enjoy the rain if there's no sunshine; for life is ephemeral. By the way, the meaning of petrichor based from my reading is a smell of the ground after the rain. Thank you so much again. Hugs!
