captivating Senyru both literally and metaphorically. In the literal sense, I love the smell of rain before a storm...metaphorically, not so much so :-) hugs, me

The smell of rain is pleasing to me ... usually soothing as well. Thanks for commenting on all of my poems, Sara. You are very brave to read them all. Your poet friend down the hall. Bill
