The heat, the bright sun, and the heat;
practically nothing to do but stay in to avoid

There isn’t much I like about summer.
Only one, noting but one essence of summer I like;
that being the great cool rain storms.

Not the typical drizzle from a cloudless sky;
nor the afternoon passerby with hot drops that sizzle
and with hotter stale almost nonexistent wind.
Especially, most especially not from the rainless,
greenish, grayish, clouds with yellow sparks dancing,
dancing(!) in the heavens, teasing the dry earth, and friends of the earth.

No, storms I like, are the ones that fill your body –
- with energy from their strong gusts;
ones with brilliant displays of effulgent and incandescent lightening
and plangent and booming thunder that shakes the ground and buildings;
ones with blackening rolling tall columns of giants,
giants with large pales of water at the ready to pour down.

to bring the temperature down many of several degrees,
and make night life in summer not only enjoyable, but give life!
These storms, make day life livable, for the next day the air –
is breathable again, life within trees seems renewed, and
and my heart is renewed by their energy, their life, life again.
