It seems like a poem like that should be invitation (evocation? - provocation, maybe, too) enough. I grew up in the Pacific Northwest where all it ever seems to do is rain - and my best friend (from Texas) can never understand why I find the skies opening up and the sound of water running through the leaves as soothing as it gets. Just what wzgirl said - what most people call "bad weather" - I call home. Did you get anything yet? It seems like a poem like that should be invitation (evocation? - provocation, maybe, too) enough.

(We got a bit of blowing dust and about 2 drops of a sprinkle last night down in the valley). Just a lurker, a fellow Southwesterner also hoping the great rains come soon.

I love this passage: Sky offers padding if only we were upside down, we could be caught in heavy folds of *but* — the conjunction of desire, always waiting on *and*" You also reminded me that we went to the annual Dia de San Juan Fiesta a couple of weekends ago... I should post a few pix. It was HOT and DRY. And now it is humid and has rained - it must have worked! Fantastic poem, SBird! I love this passage:
Sky offers padding
if only we were upside down,
we could be caught in heavy folds
of *but* — the conjunction of desire,
always waiting on *and*”

I love reading your words, SBird. It is cool to hear about people waiting for the rain. I can relate as I am a rain worshipper. But, these California brothers/sisters of mine? They curse it & call it "bad weather" - especially if we get more than one day of it. I totally disagree - I love it. Nice. I love reading your words, SBird.

Thank you for sharing one of your poems. Enchanting photo - such a bright blue. It amazes me that the trees can stay so green after being parched for so long. “We wait like people of false idols” is exactly how I picture all my AZ friends while here, we’re water logged.
