Rain in the Garden

Rain in the Garden 

The rain has moved into the garden

The small rumble of thunder off in the near distance

rumbles only for a few seconds to welcome the sprinkles of raindrops

The air is calm with no breeze

Everything is still

The smell of rain fills the garden 

The sweet calming sound of cuckoos enlighten the spring damp air

All of the animals take cover

including the birds, ducks, rabbits, and even those 

sly foxes who enter the garden to simply take an afternoon nap

The sound of rain fills the garden

that holds, carrots, radishes, cabbages, and wild flowers

The rain sprinkles them kindly, replenishing them

The animals watch the rain fall in its beauty with big curious eyes

The ground is wet and has now turned to a dark brown

The grass looks lush now

Bright bright green with baby's breath sticking to the dew of the blades

A slight ever so sight breeze passes by to say hello 

welcoming the smell of lilac to the garden

The yellow rain boot is now filling up with water

Until the rain has stopped 

The sun begins to come out from hiding

The natural sunlight fills up the garden once again

with gray rain clouds still in sight

The rain had left and received a new day

Water is the most beautiful element in this world, the refreshment, the reflective beauty of the colors of the Sun and sky, the wet feeling, the soothing warmth, the trickle on the skin. What does rain smell like? It reminds me of sweet vanilla in a coffe mug, a bowl of chicken noodle soup, a pumpkin pie, or even a hot chocolate toasted marsh mellow. Explicit writing

Water is truly a lovely element, your right it reflects everything beautiful in this world as its own. I think rain has a very earthy smell,a dirty but clean scent that awakens your senses and encourages you to become one with the earth. I absolutely love writing poems like these, its nice to reflect on the world around us isn't it.

[Sir Drift & Mr. Pulse]

I have a story, titled Reflection if you wish to read. It entails around water itself, specifically rain. Its based off the water cycle, condensation, precipitation, evaporation. I hope you catch the cycles, its hidden within the story, but I'm sure you will catch each stage.

Thoughtful, yet enigmatic. It's a very wonderful, observational kind of piece with a sense of mystery only the writer would know. I like it a lot and I think you should keep up with the free verse poem writing. It suits your being well. Snaps!

Hello, Young Poetess! : )
It's only Richard, come to read and review this marvelously beautiful and soothing work from the depths of your gentle heart and soul.
As a teacher of poetry, I can easily perceive that this Free Verse piece shows great promise, Emily, with its vivid expressions of imagery and spiritual-like atmosphere any Nature lover would drool-over, including Me! : )
My teacher's eye spots a good deal that would help this piece become the wondrously virtual little masterpiece it deserves to be, and if you're willing, permissible, and flexible enough, I will message you with an instructive illustration of what I mean.

If not, I love it anyway … hugs 'n thankful blessings to you for sharing your lovely spirit and keen potential, Emily! ⁓ Richard
