It starts slowly
Just a drop or two
The sidewalk is dotted
And the asphalt turns darker
Slowly the winds increase
And the rain falls faster
There is a flash in the distance
And a low rumble of thunder
Begins to get louder
The winds grow strong
A downpour at an angle
Lightning and thunder within a few miles
It rages for a while
Even produces a little hail
Then almost as fast as it started
The winds die down
The rain slows to a sprinkle
The clouds move onward
And the faintest hints of color in the sky
As a rainbow shimmers in the aftermath
Of the summer storm
Written for Fandango’s One-Word Challenge (FOWC) – rain
A visual treat, this poem of yours.
