Poetry: Tuesday's Storm
A couple of weeks ago I was outside getting in the washing, it was extremely hot and humid. While I was standing there the thunder started rolling around the hills and I went inside inspired to write this.
Tuesday’s Storm

Humidity surrounds me driving me inside
Out of the midday heat
The thunder starts as a far away rumble
The sky slowly darkening bringing
Evening light to the middle of the day
Rain splashes softly on my porch roof
Like sweet music to my ears
The pitter patter, a long awaited melody
The thunder draws nearer
The booming echoes off the nearby hills
Seemingly surrounding me
The lightning flashes brightly
Illuminating my room
The air electric, almost sizzling
Glistening briefly on the parched earth
The ground soaks up the storms reward
Promising new growth
With wind whistling through the trees
The temperature drops quickly
Bringing relief from the stifling heat

I really like that poem! AND that beautiful double rainbow photo!!
Aww thanks - the rainbow was gorgeous and the pics I got didn't really do it justice :)
Beautiful poetry and images, Thank You.
I absolutely love thunder storms. We hardly ever get them here in southern California. I miss them!
I am so very sorry to hear of your loss! );
A long time ago, my friend Amy put together a compilation of scripture about how God views animals. I'd like to share it with you in the hope that you may find some comfort in it.
Thank you very much for the kind words about the poetry and about Belle :)
Where about in SoCal do you live? I love them too - not so keen when they take my power out though lol
Thank you also for the scriptures, they are lovely words :)
You're more than welcome.
I live in San Diego County.
What lovely photos! I'm glad you got some relief (and that you got the clothes in before the rain came).
Thank you - ha yea it's always good to get dry clothes :)

I love these joyous welcomed showers! You have such an inspirational view, even without a rainbow, or even if there were not a cloud it would still be so pretty!
Thank you yes I'm very lucky to have such a wonderful place to live. Talk about rain lol Omg I'm doing a post in the morning about how different it is today from yesterday.
Fab poem Andy. Love the double rainbow.
