Outside,
Porch swing creaks back and forth,
Sunny day.

 

Puffy clouds gather
Turn charcoal
Swell up,
Inflating like black balloons.

 

Until...
Water plummets down in sheets
Thunderbolts explode with sound.
I feel energized.

 

Everyone shrinks back,
Except me.
Dancing,
Dancing,
Barefoot,
To the drumming music of the rain.

 

I stick up my head,
And close my eyes.
Water trickles down my wet, cool face.
I’m free!

 

Then Callie,
Wet,
Soaked,
Scared,
And meowing appears.
We dry off inside.
