Array ( [sid] => 95372 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Dancing Beneath The First Storm Of The Year [time] => 2005-05-22 18:37:53 [hometext] => I wrote this on Wednesday, May 18, 2005. Haven't been around much to post. This one's one of the few I wrote that I can deem ready to post. What a perfect storm it was! Warm rain, humid-ionized air, booming thunder...oh, the magic. [bodytext] => A pink flash of lightning
Beyond the wet pane
The pavement is livid--
It moves with the rain
Faint hint of blackberry
Strong tincture of sweetpea
As my hand's on the lock
I feel you here with me
A timpany rumble
A rumbling delight
I twirl in bare feet
Those same feet become light
But my spirits feel solid
I'm heavily real
Opaque-- and I'm smiling
A reeling pinwheel
The drops belt down brightly
Their wet melts my hair
They spatter my shirt
And the skin that I wear
The only thing better
Would put you right here
Dancing beneath
The first storm of the year

You don't often find someone who can find delight in a storm.

But all rain is--is-- well--Liquid Sunshine:)

Your use of words is wonderful in this Chels. I love the imagery this is giving me.

It's just outstanding, well done.

Lovely and perhaps I'm being a tad biased because of my own fondness for dancing in thunderstorms: ) I think you did quite well with this piece. You captured that alive feeling that only a beautiful rainstorm can provide, and your use of imagery is wonderful...Creating sights and sounds for the reader so real they get caught up in your words...It had a very fluid flow throughout as well. A most enjoyable read!

Rain overpowers like no other. To feel the raindrops falling as I run (I can´t dance) through the rain. It heals the soul in a way I´ll never understand.
Take care, and may many rainshowers find you.
