Raining in Summer
Written: May 22, 2024 For Ink Empress Contest
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Whispering breeze
waltzes through trees,
Petrichor essence
is carried by its tease,
before the rainstorm,
summer symphony starts
breathless, it falls
akin to heavenly tears
tingling on skin
earlier warmed and sun-kissed
puddles cast and evaporate
silver haze was ethereal and mystical
cossetting sad at heart.
Thunder briskly roars louder.
angry skies howl
lightning shatters the sky
dazzling heat envelopes the air
sun-kissed whispering
through parched pastures
rehydrating the ground
kinopsia, dyed, bold currents
stormy rain continues
trees sway as views vanish
hills whirl with a vibrant ballet
rain relieved the heat
flowing across fields lightly
with a dynamic beat.
Morning storm strolling
flowing on flooded sidewalks
counting fading raindrops
puddles bubble and steam
indicating the briefness
of life...
On the front porch,
the rooftop roars with rain
gutters pulsate with water
rainwater floods the eaves
forming ripples on the grass
the damp summer air cools
waterfalls of rain
across hills and valleys
water beads amid wild flora
fall as white diamonds
conspicuous doors and windows
I listen to rain singing
I shut my eyes
as rain collects in puddles
sharp metal pattern
dull concrete sound
drumming oleander leaves gently.
downhill across a silky valley
behind a barren slope
drifting with the storm
revived views glide
illuminated by gold
twilight will appear shortly
amethyst rainbow is exquisite
violet dream-scapes fly
exposed radiant scarlet
as hazy languid frowns and wanes
revealing an idyllic day
breaking tenebrous haze
sadness fades firmly
deathly agony of missing time
crimson etching on a gray quilt
nature’s opium
each drop falling from above
reminds me of life's constant love
just as rain nourishes our land
love gently nurtures our hearts.
