Rain Portrait

January 7, 2008 / by angied

It has been dismal here the past few days. Mild temperatures, but rainy.
I was watching Mother Nature from inside my cozy home and wrote this.



Sky, heavy with the promise of rain,

watches somberly as winds shake the

Maple outside my window.

Fallen leaves littering the ground

beneath the tree, become agitated,

moving restlessly, scooting

across the road into the

barren corn field.

Suddenly, great drops of rain

plummet the earth,

lasting but a short while, leaving

behind bushes accented

by dewy diamonds.

    "Dewy diamonds": Love that image! Same kind of rainy weather here in Northwest Ohio, with temps in the high 50s today and low 60s tomorrrow. So odd for January.... But maybe I'll be able to surrpise my cats and open the windows a spell.

    Sorry, your reply is above Shel.[HEART][HEART]

    I'm impressed - you go girl! [HEART]

    awwwwwww-thank you very much. I adore living in the country, surrounded by rolling hills and woods. The deer graze with my horses-as Browning said, "God's in his heaven; all is right with the world."

    Precipitation--warm or cold, solid or liquid--it still dampens my mood. And no poem, no matter how nice it sounds, can alter my feelings! [TONGUE][WINK]

    You pragmatic person, you! Negativity will get you nowhere. I can see beauty in many things--a rainstorm, the virginity of the snow--before the animals get to it, etc. We must keep an open mind and heart.[HEART]

    Oh, don't they love that. Mine lie in the windows for hours. We are to have temps in the 70's today, but 40's tomorrow--how crazy is that?[SMILE]

    Very nice! [SMILE] It's been pretty nice around here, but I think rain will be moving in.

    The rain has finally left, but the fields below my house now resemble a lake. The sun is shinely brightly; I can actually see the reflection of trees in the newly formed lake even though it is a good distance away. I wonder if that will become another picture in words?[HEART]
