April Showers - day 45 of the Steemit school 100 day poetry challenge

April Showers

fresh rain and the smell of wet mud
leaves hanging down themselves
a distant rumble of thunder
birds flying towards their nests

damp air and a hot cup of coffee
a classic book or a board game
some doze off while the rain pours hard
some sit and browse the net

water collected in the ponds
a relief from the scorching heat
frogs jump about
there is wetness all around

rain is always a welcome sight
to those who are tired of the heat and dry

(climate changes? - sudden incidents of rain during evenings accompanied by thunder and lightning)

entry for Announcing the Steemit School Poetry 100 Day Challenge! (Total Prize Fund 2000 SBD)

I write poems to express myself. I started writing at the age of twelve or so and some of my poems were published in magazines for children, a time when print still ruled the world. The internet and the blogging world has helped me write poems. Most of it was as I wrote earlier, to express myself and my thoughts. I have also been a ghostwriter.
Steemit has helped me write with freedom and also earned me very good friends who encourage me to write. I hope my readers will support me and also join in this contest. I am not a student of literature and so I do not consider myself an expert in poetry. It is the judge who will decide.
