I decided to come out into the damp humid evening and lie in my damp porch hammock before I go and get cleaned up for the night. It’s been raining and I thought it was cleaning up but then it started up again. I love rain. Always have. And I use the term summer storm because for all intents and purposes it’s summertime here.

The raindrops are still falling
The storm has all but passed
Though the rumble of the thunder can still be heard.
I can feel this, can smell the rain. Something about your poem really soothes, Karri. I love this pair of lines especially: "The sun thought the rain was over/and appeared in time to set."

The sun thought the rain was over
And appeared in time to set
Puddles on the ground reflect the light.
.
The birds resume their singing
In the time that they have left
Before the evening fully turns to night.
.
And still the rain keeps falling
Not ready to give up
The remnants of an evening summer storm.
This pulls me right into all the sensations of a summer storm! Rain is one of my favorite sounds.

This is so lovely, like a sweet little vignette.
