Rainy Day Thoughts

In a drizzle, droplets drip; Hair will frizzle, make-up slip. Streets will glisten, raincoats bead; Wipers work the lowest speed. Rain that’s steady slashes down; Puddles plash and insects drown. Folks’ umbrellas bump and clash; Headlights blind you, bold and brash. Pouring cloudbursts crash and soak; Running dashes they provoke. Awnings are in short supply; People race indoors to dry. Even though we need the rain, When it falls, we oft complain. Still, we’re lucky, as things go – Any rain’s preferred to snow!

Great write ilene. I can truly associate with pretty much all you wrote in this piece, espically the fizzy hair when it rains. I enjoyed reading it and thanks for the chuckle it provoked. Melody
