The Scent Of Rain

​As the sunlight fades
Comforting darkness flows in
With the scent of rain

It’s set to rain overnight and into tomorrow. Many of the Seattleites I know are ready for a bit of cool rain. I know, we’re a weird lot. When everything is green it feels the most like home. 


A rainy Seattle night

summer’s rain
beautiful scent of earth
renewed

Outside I hear a rumble, then the familiar tapping sound of rainfall. I love the scent of rain falling after a hot day.

Morning Haiku: June 13, 2020

nearly summer

I don my sweater

raindrops on leaves

Rain in the Moonlight

rain atop the roof

calm, staccato memories

droplets of moonbeams 

Haiku, May 30, 2020

a day filled with rain

I avoid the damp puddles

circles flow outwards

A day of rain and thunder, such an abnormally in Seattle. Well, not the rain; that’s still quite common. Yet today I opted to forgo my evening walk. Just wasn’t in the mood to be soaked, cold and shivering.

rolling with the rain

there’s thunder in Seattle

the crows now silent

I wasn’t expecting thunder and lightening this morning. That’s rather atypical for Seattle. It brings back many memories for me, though. Life in the tropics had many joys.
