Rain, 1

A short series

Rain wakes the grass up

The scorch of bad dreams
broke with a loud clap
in the night
and a flash of light

This morning each blade
stands tall, taller than
yesterday, and proud
of the glistening diamond
remnants on its shoulders

FINALLY we have had a few days of rain! Cue the arrival of rain-inspired poems. Thank you, readers!
