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.

Knitting Nightmare

I sat on my bed knitting with the roll of multicolored yarn. The sun set, and the moon rose as the scarf grew longer and longer. Father’s scarf would be done by midnight. Happy but tired, I pulled too hard.

Five loops slipped off the needle. 

No, no, no, no! My heart pounded. I tried to corral the loops back onto the needle. The more I moved, the further the loops went down. They’d be gone and the scarf would be ruined!

I got one loop back on. Two. Three. Four. Finally, five. I sighed, calmed myself, and kept knitting.
