A loud moving curtain pounding the ground suddenly came with a noisy friend. All I could do was smile. This was welcoming the holiday (our spring holiday- brought forward). A fresh breeze is always welcome as it has been sweltering.
The monster was here. It came with it’s own rhythm, slapping the different surfaces. I stood out there to watch the curtain flow, inside me I thought, this is going to be good.
Everyone needs you. We do, the plants do and I wonder how the pets feel. Our dogs must despise the heat too, they curl cozily in front of the door watching the curtain unwind. The darkened noon, creates a pleasant feeling, and makes staying indoors extremely enticing.
Unexpectedly a gruelling, vibrating and intense sound takes over and hits us. ‘This is rare,’ I share, my heart beating heavily. Where was that from? Does it mean there will be more rain? Probably, as the monster showed his face, clearly.

Your metaphor and personification capture the moment well. So many multiple meanings to absorb. Take care.

You have a great mix here of description and metaphor, with just enough symbolism and ambiguity to allow us to read all kinds of different messages. Well done!

I am left speechless, but I must comment. I love this line – “The monster was here. It came with it’s own rhythm, slapping the different surfaces. I stood out there to watch the curtain flow, inside me I thought, this is going to be good.” Your descriptive language moved me (as the reader). THANK YOU for sharing this post.
