Hot sultry days build cumulonimbus clouds and portent of rains
As the day reaches mid-day heat the sky grows an ominous inky slate grey blue
Thunder rolls and the air is close, all awaits
Thick, sloppy drops fall to the earth
Then all holds its breath, quickens and the drum roll of raindrops hits the tar
The earth hisses in appreciation of the life giving rain
The muddy earth gives off its distinctive scent
Flying ants drift up into the air, like fairies dancing in the rains
Another year's planting can take place, the rains have come
and so has Christmas time.
