Monsoon rains

http://wewritepoems.files.wordpress.com/2014/01/wordle02s.jpg





Umbrella raised as unfurled whisper,
to hang through sodden mood, released
like dreams of strawberry perfumed,
and fresh-baked bread, those images
seen running toward home as thunder
crashed, sun smirked behind fishnet
clouds, the wanting storm unsweetened,
no sugar for the day, just hissing rain
upon the floor of earth, dissolving,
rattling, liquid siren sloughing down
the window; torrential liquid strings,
soft mumble at the panes; as monsoon
stirs abandoned to the season and kisses
dawn which floats beneath night's eyes;
surrendered, phoenix-like to rise again
as morning, scrubbed and glorious.

  7. This is really wondeful. My personal favorite line: the wanting storm unsweetened,
    no sugar for the day
