It smells like rain <br />filling the air <br />before the first drops break <br />in quiet splashes on the river. <br />It smells like rain <br />musty and fresh at once <br />warning the birds <br />to go home. <br />And the rain comes <br />water on water <br />cool rush of sound <br />quieting insects <br />teasing fish <br />drenching boaters <br />surprised by the storm. <br />It smells like rain <br />It sounds like rain <br />It looks like rain, now <br />I’ll go outside <br />and feel the rain. <br />Hell. I’ll be the rain.<br /><br />robert fort<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/it-smells-like-rain/
