The Day Began Hot and Humid

A bright sunny day With some puffy clouds They had images of faces The temperature high No birds in the sky The squirrels were hiding No one is outside They were inside With air conditioning Having a co, drink Just relaxing in the cool air Reading or answering mail All of a sudden the sky Is very dark the sun left Grey color clouds appear Getting darker even more So dark the sky is black The rain poured down quickly The ground got soaked It rained for several hours Getting darker even more So dark the sky is black The rain poured down quickly The ground got soaked It rained for several hours Then quickly as it began The rain slowed down The dark clouds cleared In the sky sunshine appeared The squirrels came out Looking for food The birds looking for worms The grass looked brighter Flowers taller and grass greener

Great poem Darlene. When the air is hot and humid, everything is sticky, how we rejoice in that downpour of rain.

Hello Elizabeth,yes after a hot humid day we are always graceful for a rain storm to cool off. I would prefer a sun shower after that shower comes a rainbow. have a nice day my friend.

Hello Sandra Adams, it is hot and humid here today. The rain we were to have has passed us by. When it will be thunder showers it will be very strong and noisy. Thank you for the lovely comment. have a nice day my friend.

That hot humid weather sure brings a downpour of rain. But afterwards the air is fresher and things cool down . Tom

Hello Tom, after the hot humid weather has come ,we do need the rain. So because of the humid weather we get thunder showers that seem to last all morning or noon. Yet we need the rain. have a nice day my friend.

Do you live in the Midwest, Darlene? You've painted a picture that just screams 'Chicago in the Summertime.' Best wishes, Gershon
