Poets United Prompt- Smell

The first drops of rain,
too small to be seen,
hit the parched earth below.

An earthly fragrance
of wet mud
lingers in the air.

  4. I love that smell of rain when it first hits the earth, especially when the ground is dry and has waited a long time for it......incomparable smell. Lovely poem.

  5. This reminds me of spring or summer rain, parched...then the scent of freshness, renewed!
    Nicely done~
