The Smell of Rain

Listen to poem:
After the rain, came the smell of rain as the earth vaporized its pleasure at its renewed fecundity felt deep within. The musty scent of dampness loaded with aromas and fragrances, wafted up from damp organic stuff. Wetted by drips and drops, and scattered splatter spots daubed on the parchment of dryness, the smell of rain arose, in a spiral, curling upward.
