Petrichor

Lightning striking
thunder roars
and oh the rain!
how it did pour
then afterwards the petrichor
the sweet scented smell of a summer storm...

About this poem:
Man it rained hard a couple days ago...
After a bit of a dry spell
Love that after smell...

We could sure use some rain around here.There's just something about the scent of rain after it's been washed so fresh and new. If I could bottle it, I'd be rich beyond money! laugh I like this work. cowboy

I love the rain, and can relate to the smell it causes dry hot surfaces (like tar/asphalt and mud) to give off. You described it so well...smile
