Rain

Rain crackles on the sidewalks As the thunder bellows and roars. Cars hiss by on the wet streets As fallen leaves soar. Lightning flashes in the clouds As the trees dance in the wind. Chills and goosebumps rise on my arms As the cold rain hits my skin. Birds sing in their havens As rivers form in the parking lot. Blades of grass flinch and twitch  As they are pelted by raindrops. Cars sweat and weep buckets As they are left out in the stormy weather. Puddles form in the mud As raindrops splash ripples in them together. The scent of asphalt and rain Fills the cool, humid air As God’s rain calms my restless soul And washes away my despair.

Crazy Kaylee

The whole neighborhood knew Kaylee was crazy. 

She mowed her lawn to prevent “overgrowth” instead of letting the grass grow as much as it wanted. She pulled out the weeds from her garden when they were a natural part of the outdoors. She swept the floors, washed the dishes, did the laundry, and kept everything tidy when messiness was simply a natural part of life. 

She claimed she couldn’t leave the place “unkempt.” But everyone knew that their houses weren’t unkempt, with their lawns of four-foot-tall grass, weedy gardens, dirty floors, and dish-filled sinks. 

No way.

They simply had character.
