Hi. I like to write, I expect you like to read. What say we strike up an acquaintance?

The Smell Of Rain

Fresh
Deep
Brown
Earthy.
The sweet smell of life
Rushing to a silent call;
Like a lover to another
Sweet collision
Music divine.
Pure
Rich
Dark
True.
The ancient tune
That plays eternal
Unchanged, still true
As the first day
His first note broke
From the heavens
And rushed
To the yearning call
Of his lover below.
Peace,
At last.

Well written, the imagery almost evoked the sounds and feelings of your title, nice

There is something that just works about your run-off lines. At first it was interfering with my experience by creating urgency. Then I realised the poet was so immersed (excuse that pun) in the rain feeling, he did not need many words to recreate it. I like it now - a whole lot.

True, imagery just evokes the scenery. I like your poetry a lot. :)
