This poem was actually an assignment for my Creative Writing class. I was assigned to do a quartet of nature poems which included this piece. I thought that it wasn't as good I expected it to be, until I had a talk with my teacher. She was very impressed and wanted me to submit my poem. I just recently fell in love with rain. The sound, the musty smell, the beautiful gray skies, it all amazes me. I live in Florida, so I understand thunderstorms pretty well. I'm used to them. I hope people enjoy reading my poem, as I had a lot of fun coming up with the idea of this piece.
