Petrichor

Open that door and it’s there.

The pitter of sound on the skylights

Warned

The endless rain

Soaking the plants, the ground, droplets balanced on leaves and then falling

Lines of rain

So straight

Then it stops and it’s quieter and all the glass on all the windows is blurred

Not droplets but silver grey smudges

Go outside and the smell is there

Damp earth

Petrichor

  1. Your poem captures the transformation of the environment during and after a rain. It focuses on sensory perception, from the initial gentle drip to the visual silence of fogged windows and the lingering smell of wet earth. It conveys a sense of immersion in a specific moment of weather, inviting the reader to experience the rain through the senses described.
