Revelling In the Rain

Revelling in the rain That goes tapping on my back. I twirl, 'am in no haste; With a weedy leafy dirndle Wrapped around my waist. I swing and I sway, Drifting about in gay; Pirouetting with the posies, Floating in the pristine air. I dance with no refrain, Foot taps whispering with the rain. The entire world stood, As in a clearing in the wood; With festoons of flowers and foliage, Them all ornating my stage. Till I dance into the dawn, And a grey and cloudy morn; Rain capering with me, Accompanying me for a song. `` For Charlotte Puddifoot's Contest : "First Poem On Soup"
