Pluviophilia Peace
For Sensational 2 Challenge. It's a poem. Obviously. About my favourite type of weather.
Drip drop, pitter-patter, sounds echo memories frozen, former, latter—
I feel the storm calm on my skin, heaven's precipitation soaks me, denim sticks and takes root, and I win.
As the musky, pleasant petrichor fills my lungs, I am at peace in my Pluviophilia.
Every waterlogged step I take, every dramatic, satisfying splash in puddles I make, grants me serenity and escape.
I lick my lips as if the rain was some delicious life-enriching elixir—and of course, it is.
