Summer Storm

Breaking through the cloud cover
as sunshine catches in the drops of rain
A special shower sizzling on the sidewalk
each fat orb splashing, sparking as it hits
The thunder takes a silent pondering moment
snapshots of lighting across the horizon
The sharp grey clouds calm with the torrent
regaining their soft pillow semblance
the baby storm sleeps, snuggled deep within
Returning to her rest, the simplicity of a nap
Though the rain is sincere in her wish to return
enjoying the snippets of earth she has tasted

    Now I feel inspired to enter a contest.
    'A special shower sizzling on the sidewalk
    each fat orb splashing, sparking as it hits'
    That part is pretty. It's my favorite for this poem. I've never really though of rain drops being fat orbs.

    This was lovely. Magnificant personification used within and I love the terminology incorporated and the ashtonishing imagery. My favourite line was 'The thunder takes a silent pondering moment
    snapshots of lighting across the horizon', this was infact a glorious poem.
