The rain returned

It has rained on and off for most of the day. 
We walked between showers. 
The dithering clouds were ash-gray one moment
and white as gauze the next.
The humidity was lickable. 
On the second lap, 
I noticed a pink Rose-of-Sharon blossom 
at one corner of the house.
Before we reached the apple tree
The rain returned.

  1. Beautifully written. I used to say that we could carve out the humid air in Illinois. Such a lovely flower! I have never seen Rose-of-Sharon before.

  6. "Humidity was lickable" … I like that! Having endured desert living so long, I'm still enjoying it.
