Rains Forecast

dark clouds overhead with heavy rain unending… the sea is claiming all dark in the morning foretells the rainstorm coming…. sojourner take care spring rains bring flowers dark rains of winter bring floods…. downed lines and blackouts For Dark Rain contest won 3rd

Can feel the heaviness of the skies within this write, and yet love the hope of Soring being not too far away. Thanks for commenting my 'Snowflakes', appreciated. ;p Anna-Marie.

What a vivid description of the dark rain, Joyce. I like the way you describe the sea, the danger the storm presents to travelers and how rain can be welcome in spring but cause floods and other problems in winter. Wishing you success in the Dark Rain contest, dear. Love, Carolyn

I love this going along like a story. My trio I will post later is also a bit that way. Joyce, thanks for telling me of your sweet grand daughter. A special story. The little ricky I babysat was so crazy for dinosaurs. He would make me sit an hour looking at all his silly books on them. He grew up and had mental problems, poor kid. He was so smart as a child. Luv, Andrea
