April Rain










April Rain



Heat gathered to a peak



At ninety degrees today.



Clouds came rolling over.



The sky turned a dark Payne's grey.



Lightning whipped and crackled.



It struck the ground with a pop.



Rain softly descended,



Soaked turned earth 'til it stopped.



Ah, the rains of April,



Replenish the driest ground.



Lo, e'en in December,



April's sweet promise is found.





Music: Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head







Author's Notes/Comments: 

I love the soaking rains of springtime.  They give me an excuse for NOT doing yardwork.  LOL
