clouds begin to gather slowly at first
then a breeze comes the clouds come faster now
the breeze turns to powerful wind
tree's creak in the gust
leafs blown free and start to
swirl around my head
the world around me becomes
a blur of color gold's and reds blend
the sky darkens more
smell of rain in the air
is thick in my nose
the clouds open at last
rain pours down from above
birds and bugs grow silent
replaced by the pounding
of rain on dry ground
the dry land drinks it's fill
at long last rain had come

nice
Very descriptive and effective. Created great imagery.
suggestions:
Leafs should be leaves. Be sure to put in punctuation so the flow is not confusing.
What option is this? Please message me telling the option and remind me of the name of your poem, too.
Thanks!

I like poetry about nature, particulary about the weather and how it effects the earth. The smell of fresh rain on the ground is a lovely smell which makes me think of the earth sating her thirst after a long period of drought.
The second line could do with reworking and there are a couple of spelling mistakes to put right but I enjoyed reading this piece of work.
leafs blown free and start to ... leaves (plural)
a blur of color gold's and reds blend ... golds

You took the image and completely turned it around; I liked that!
There was a line at the beginning of the poem that bothered me slightly.
"then a breeze comes the clouds come faster now
the breeze..."
Seemed really wordy. It was difficult for me to read fluently inevitably, hindering the read for me.
Thanks for entering.
