- Raining in Summer -

                              - Summer rain is a passing moment ~
                             which will soon be pierced by sun rays -
                                                quote by poet 


                                      Merry sound of happiness
                                     a little rain satisfies the air
                                    The clouds are the shadows,
                                            after sunny days
                                            Aquarius is wise,
                                     nature painted in watercolor

                                        Countless lyrical drops
                                 crystals sprinkle in the flower bells
                                           Nobody would care,
                               neither bird, flowers nor teasing bees
                                     Can smell the wet substrate
                              and breathe pure thoughts everywhere

                                Collecting dripping drops in a jam jar
                                     with an apostle spoon in silver
                               Summer rain in triumphant symphony
                                      scattered through paradise
                                   With frugality and a lot of profit
                                       - until the soul is satisfied

Anne-Lise, this literally is a "symphony" played by summer rain capturing its delight in sounds, scenes and scents! There is a perfume from summer rain that is so distinctive. You put me in that place! Best wishes for the contest! Hugs and blessings! Congratulations on your win in Kim's contest. Very fun with a poignant underlying truth!

I agree with Valsa. Summer rain clears the air, cleans the streets and relieves us of hot weather. Loved it.

Summer rain is always a joy and comes sparingly. But as the climate has changed globally, here in Kerala- a small state where I live, there is torrential rain now in the peak of summer. A lovely poem. "Countless lyrical drops crystals sprinkle in the flower bells". Love these lines. All the Best dear Anne. Love and hugs!

Rain is always good for the garden and the environment. Nice poem and great picture. Do rain drops fall only vertically?

Dearest Anne-Lise, What a wonderful and serene picture of nature's beauty after a summer rain. The imagery of raindrops collecting in flower bells and the scent of wet earth evokes such a sense of tranquility and joy. I loved how your words dance with elegance and grace, capturing the essence of a moment in nature. An exquisite piece. - Blessings, Daniel
