Sit with me in one of the front porch rockers.
red cushions contrast (and make you smile).
Have a glass of wine with me or a cup of coffee
while we watch the rain slant down off the roof,
and splashes onto the bark, displaces the moss,
runs through the gutters, and settles round us like a
a symphony. Smokey gray clouds bring on the automatic lights
and the perfume of newly mowed grass surrounds us.
I’m glad you stopped by for the show.

Beautiful, Judy. I am there! I am happy for you.
Love this description of watching the storm sitting safe and visiting on the porch with coffee. I can picture this.
Wish I was there with you...would enjoy the visit and the scenery CA
From my childhood on, there is nothing I enjoy more than a good deluge! Cleansing, refreshing, like being born again is how a rainstorm makes me feel. The smell, the image of raindrops pelting the earth, hitting my windows, I don't even mind driving in it .... I guess you get how I'm feeling. Loved your poem!!!
I love listening to and, watching the rain. It's like hearing a beautiful natural symphony.
This is lovely.
Judy, that is such a lovely, peaceful poem. it paints such a lush beautiful picture, I want to come visit :-)
And thank you for stopping by to visit me at Cracker Jack Poet
Loved the atmosphere you created here. The idea of watching a storm from a place of safety whilst drinking coffee is a very comforting image.
This takes me back to my grandma and me, sitting in her back porch, listening to the thunderstorms on summer afternoons. How she loved them!
