Rain

Rain Raindrops splashing – puddles fill the terrain; Cloudbursts of downpours - springtime in the rain; For oceans, steep hillsides - on flat terrain – Soaked by liquid sunshine - showers of rain; Rides summer thunder – pelting, pounding rain; Coming down in buckets on the smooth plain; Party for umbrellas – fancy and plain; Drought welcomes rainstorms again and again; Rain for fall in cities – on the mountain; Music of winter on rain chains again. 4-16-20

I know you love the rain ("And We Call It") and this is even more evidence of your love affair. We in SoCal know all about drought and welcome any and all rain we can get! Beautiful writing, Sam!

Thank you Pixie. I am honored. Rain seems to have a melody to my ears. Maybe it was grrowing up in the northwest.

Thank you Janice - your message so appreciated! I feel like I am intimately acquainted with rain as I grew up in the northwest - was just part of life.. Having moved south, I miss the rainy days especially in the winter when rain causes us to hunker down and cuddle up! Stay well!

Thank Demetrios! You are so right, my friend! Rain, even in showers, is dynamic. I am so glad my words were able to capture that quality. Going outside after a rainstorm you can just feel the refreshment of the world! Blessings my friend!
