Rumbling Ways

I can taste the rain, smell the rain,
Feel it in the air
But it isn't falling yet
Holding back, playing fair
Just the dampness,
Stirring with gray clouds
Until it's enough to storm
A sky will bellow loud
Nature yells in ways
What is it trying to say?
I can taste the rain
Before it speaks its rumbling ways

Richard Lamoureux Date: 7/6/2019 3:22:00 PM I love the smell of the air just before or just after a storm. Like your poem it is invigorating. Login to Reply Heidi Sands Date: 7/6/2019 4:12:00 PM Nice to hear Richard! I do too. Thank you :)

Jennifer Proxenos Date: 7/6/2019 2:11:00 AM I can smell rain before it comes - it is better than the best perfume in the world - I breathe it in as if it gives me life - and the aftermath of rain, not heavy storms, is so enhancing. I love your poem Heidi, as I love the rain! Hugs and blessings Jennifer. Login to Reply Heidi Sands Date: 7/6/2019 6:38:00 AM I am happy you love this one. Thank you Jennifer.

Gershon Wolf Date: 7/3/2019 7:56:00 PM This is just perfect, Heidi. You have captured what we so often feel just prior to the rain, that heaviness / dampness in the air. Very, very nicely done!
