I love the different types of weather and the changes that happen so drastically. With all the recent rain, I just had to put it into a poem.

Rain

The skies darken over head

as clouds are rolling in

there seems a heaviness

you can feel it begin

air starts to change now

a weight upon my shoulder

the first large drops of rain

makes the day seem colder

the drops of rain are heavy

splashing upon the ground

hear them in your mind`s eye

as they land all around

the sky`s so foreboding

it`s like the dead of night

almost claustrophobic

wow, such an eerie sight

then the flood gates open

torrential rain pours down

thundering on the roof tops

feel you`re going to drown

curled up on my sofa

this is where I`ll reside

let the stormy skies pour

I`m warm and snug inside
