Dancing In the Rain

, A black cloud descends…. , , , Each flower grows hopeful! ,, In jubilation, katydids, laughingly, make noisy ovations! , , , Party-planner, Queen Rosie, STOPS to unleash verses,with ’xcited Yiddish zeal ! ……………………………………………………………. , , D Daisy Mae, and Lily Gay, bathe in refreshing rains ,, A Anointed too, are tiny baby buds, with every little drop ,, ,,, N Narcissus squeals with laughter, and sings a sweet refrain C Crickets dance with plaid berets, and do a Celtic hop! I In the mud we’ll find two pigs, they splash, but then rain STOPS! N Nanny Goose, and Granny Goat, play banjos in the band G Gardenias, stash away umbrellas, they scrub from end to end R Rabbits hear the jubilee, and from a hole they pop A A squirrel or two, comes down the tree, where all the fuss began I In spite of fear, the little mouse, looks out to see what’s up N Nearby, the cat, just waves his hat, allows the mice some fun! N Dogs join in, STOP chasing cats, they splash, and play like kids R Rainbows fill the evening sky, where now the sun peeks in O Overhead, the colors smile, in greens, and blues and reds P Pretty is the world tonight, refreshed, and clean, and good S Softly STOPS the pitter-pat upon on the evening’s hood ………………………………………………………………………… Thirsty trees, and tender tulip tongues, tasted today’s tantalizing tonic Rain STOPS to retreat, to replenish, refresh, repair, and rest Delighted dancers STOP, to discuss day’s divine delivery duties Rainbows remind recovering revelers reasons to STOP and reflect, rejoice, recent rainy rewards Slowly, in soft slippers, STOPping to shine, sun sets silently. Satisfactorily satiated, the scenery seems serene, sparkling and sleepy….. ..............................................................................................................................
