Rain in Perspective

Autumn, Nature, rain, seasons, sky, weather

Crying clouds crowd the dreary gray skies
of October, releasing rivulets of tears
into already mucky, rain-soaked ground.

Hiding under wide-open umbrellas,
adults quickly stride from cars to buildings,
their briefcases safely tucked under,
protecting themselves and their papers
from the non-ending stream from above.

Donned in raincoat and boots,
backpacks bulging, zippers askew,
children splash from puddle to puddle,
giggling and smilng as they frolic to class,
damp, mud-splattered homework in tow.

Grass glows in the morning sunlight
as droplets of last night’s rain lay atop the blades,
sparkling crystals of water
reflecting like multifaceted diamonds
set among a bed of emerald.

Gently falling from clouds or
streaming down the river,
water is a welcome addition to nature;

Yet just as natural are the wet
tears trickling down my face
as I say my goodbye to you.

“Statistics don’t lie,” they say.

So kindly explain why I am
drenched by the soaking rain,
when there was only a
10% chance of precip!

Freezing Rain in the News

Freezing rain recently passed through Colorado, leading to a 140-car pileup on I-25 in Denver. Around the rest of the state, nature took the brunt as this news story describes, with a little help from alliteration.

Pellets of Water Pound the Pavement
Icy Paths Persist
Pulverized leaves pummeled down as
roof peaks peeled, predominantly due to
a passing pressurized surprise storm.

Preliminary reports predict that precipitation
has passed; pleasant weather will prevail.
