Petrichor ©Dawn Minott |a Haiku

Petrichor blesses

Earth’s scent she wakens anew

Rain’s gift, nature’s joy

Afterword: this week’s d’Verse challenge is to choose one word from the list provided to create a poem. I chose petrichor (a pleasant smell that frequently accompanies the first rain after a long period of warm, dry weather) and wrote a haiku that anthropomorphized the word (give it human qualities).

    2. I remember this experience most from growing up in Jamaica. When the first few drops of rain beat down on the hot ground, the vapor rises along with that earthy-I’ve-been-caressed-by-the-rain smell coupled with the pitter-patter on the zinc roof and all is well in my childhood world of simplicity and the joys of nature. Ahh (I exhale) in gratitude for memories of petrichor.
