Raymond A. Foss Poems

Back to Poems Page

Something different, particular
a May shower, the other day,
not July; certainly not March
a specific sound, a definite smell
of the May shower -
warm but not hot, the pavement, the dirt
reacting but not convulsed
a gentle warm rain, cooling, caressing
the plants, the driveway, even the air
falling slowly, lightly, spritely
onto the dry ground, new greens
thirsty for light rain
a change in the air itself
more rounded somehow
pearls of smell, wafting up
from surfaces, even the air
lightened somewhat
in the afterglow
of the May shower
