Afternoon Thunderstorm
thunderheads bank
against the mountains the storm is on the horizon
underbellies of the
clouds... blue expectation fills the air
rain drops appear on
the windshield what secrets spilled with the rain
gossip passed in the
garden a poem spread before you whisper secrets
speak gently all
is bathed in the rain... i think of you

I love the sense of anticipation that you've captured here....especially, "a poem spread before you."
Rain can be a wonderful inspiration when it comes to writing a poem!
Well penned :D
Lots of love,

Rain can be both tears and joy.. but I guess it always evokes memories.
I am sure that rain can spread a lot of secrets....rivers of them perhaps!
I will bet the thirsty desert will be grateful for the rain....I love "a poem spread before you".
Bankng bellies! Secrets in raindrops! What a lovely poem in and despite the rain!
The scent and sound of rain brings lots of memories and stories.
There is something magical in a summer rainstorm especially when the black clouds roll in and the sky pours out in all its fury!
rains do bring back the memories....
This feels like a single drop of rain being heard above the chaos of a storm..a beautiful and touching piece... xo
Rain can either be a hellion or a healer. In this case, I think it is the latter, for it has invited the speaker to think of one special person in a deep and significant way, to remember that person's gestures, intonations and facial tics; to wash away falsehoods about that person and see him/her in the light of truth and love. See what rain can do? A lovely poem, Annell. Thank you.
Timeless Tales
The ending in the poem hit me.
Love "underbellies of the clouds" and " expectation fills the air" ~ deep and meaningful images.
