The air is warm,
As dark storm with
Clouds form and loom
Above; boom from
Its womb signalling soon that the rain will come.
Their drips do drop
Without stop on
The top of my
Head as I went-
I sigh, enjoying the scent of wet cement.
Author notes
Well, this contest was so appealing to me, and I enjoy weather so much, that I wanted to try another one!
Another seasonal "smell" I like is wet cement. When I was at college (- I went to a private college with dorms and such-), there wasn't much grassy land to lounge on and enjoy. But when the weather was active, as in maybe having a rainy day, I always tried to think of the things to enjoy about it.
I can't remember if I said it before, but I almost always catch sinus infections, which takes away my sense of smell most of the year through... But in those moments when my nose DOES work, I take time to enjoy whatever I can! And, one of those enjoyments was the smell of wet cement after it rained on campus.

Thank you!
I myself am turning into a possessed women! (Not really, but) I've been overdosed with poetry on my brain, and this form is just adding to my addictions! LOL
I'm working on another one!!! -
This had a nice feel to it. Since I am new at this form, I can't make a good intelligent comment, but I do like it
