Rain in the evening

Noveyre

A relief from reality, 

A recreational sobriety 

The rain the sole calamity

Falling down to Earth. 

 

Nothing more is in the air

Than suicidal drops; 

Cascading with care

To quench the thirsty crops. 

 

Everywhere and evermore 

Thunder claps and lightning for 

the sky to glaze electric haze 

Overcast outwits the day 

 

On the porch now, by the front; 

Comes rolling in, on the hunt; 

Vacation from all my volition 

All there is to do is wait. 

 

And why it pours as like stars' fall, 

Luminous 'llueve', 

All the world so cooled and calm

With petrichor and peace.

  • Comment from author about the poem: Note: 'llueve' is the spanish word for 'rains', or 'it is raining'. Also, for those unfamiliar, petrichor is the smell when it has recently rained.
