The rain arrived unannounced
Most of us appreciative of its appearance
Rated as a passing shower
It realized its fifteen minutes of fame
So despised in winter
But this day, mid-summer
Sparking elation and celebration among excited voices
You'd have thought we'd never experienced rain before
........ In western Oregon
Or that it rivaled designated official storms of the century
Maybe we should have named the event .... Randomly passing shower Edith
Or assigned it a "feels like" number
Like meteorologists tend to do
People come running to witness the event
A chilling breeze distributing the mist to all covered corners
Altering stale attitudes
Providing hope for a refreshed tomorrow
A previous recent rumor had failed to materialize
Never given a life
Even those who crave summer have grown weary of the relentless heat
Anxious for a change
Those folks, would be poor excuses for Floridians or Arizonians
