Dancing Raindrops

D Daisy plays, and Violet bathes in a sudden evening rain A Anointed too, is Rosie's face, with every gentle drop N Narcissus squeals with laughter, too, and sings a sweet refrain C Crickets dance, wear plaid berets, and do a Celtic hop! I In the mud we’ll find two weeds, they flop about a lot! N Nanny Mum, and Granny Plum , play banjos in the band G Gardenia's cheeks are white and sleek, she scrubs from end to end R Rabbits hear the jubilee, and from their holes they pop A A squirrel or two, come 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! D Dogs join in, start chasing cats, they splash, and play like kids R Rainbows fill the evening sky, where now the sun peeks in O Overhead, the clouds are tinged, in greens, and blues and reds P Pretty is the world tonight, refreshed, and smelling good S Softly now the pitter-pat upon on the evening’s hood ________________________ Submitted for PD's Acrostic Contest:7/3/14

This one is wonderful, Carrie. All the goings on were so much fun that I read it three times. I love how the cat allowed the mouse some fun. What a good time, my friend.... Robert.
