RAIN
I love rain:
The showers of spring that stir up life and its delightful scents.
The soft, warm summer rains I can walk in,
The cooling, freshening rains that end a scorching July drought,
The thundering, pounding rains of a sudden summer storm,
The steady, two-day autumn rains that intensify the unique scents and colors of my favorite season,
The gray, quiet winter rains that, thankfully, melt away the unwanted snow.
I love rain:
Rain moving in heavy curtains across the mountains,
Rain dripping from the roofs and trees all along my quiet street,
Rain gently soaking thirsty fields and gardens pregnant with seed,
Rain pounding the roof of the empty church where I pray alone,
Rain sweeping in gusts across my front porch where I stand delighting in its feel on my skin,
Rain in the city, blurring the ugly and adding an extra glisten to the lights and colors.
I love rain!

Such elaborate and stunning images in your verse Sandra ❤❤ it feels like a song which we sing as a tribute to rain 😀 especially adore “The steady, two-day autumn rains that intensify the unique scents and colors of my favorite season..” Sigh.. autumn is a favorite of mine too ❤❤ Beautifully executed.

Thank you for your lovely praise, Sanaa. I really enjoyed writing this piece.
Love this poem, I can relate to your feelings of the rains of each season, right now, especially “gardens pregnant with seed” as mine hopefully are 🙂
Thank you for the kind comment. I hope your garden is very prosperous this year.
I love rain too, but only at night when I don’t have to go out in it!
Life giving rain not always welcome but always needed. How beautiful it was to read you poem out loud.
Thank you. I appreciate your kind words.
Beautifully enumerated in this beautifully constructed poem.
Thank you.
Rain is quite the fashionista wearing different looks for every season…beautifully captivated…
Thanks, and I love your analogy.
Put like that it’s hard to find a reason not to love rain 🙂 love the photo also
I love this photo too. It’s one of my favorites.
A terrific list of rainy thoughts. Love them all, too
and the smell of rain in the city as it hits dry hot tarmac….yummy 😀 XXX
The way you describe rain makes me love it even more. But, I must admit I prefer to be cozy at home when it’s raining. Enjoyed reading this.
Thank you. I appreciate your taking the time to read it and comment.
A charming and vivid description of rain! I love rain too. 🙂
I especially love rain when it’s hot, dru, and dusty out!
