I went outside into the night So silvery slight, I heard the sound And found it was the fall of rain That murmured quickly through the trees And tapped excitement on the leaves To watch the slope in casement light I stood and felt the sweet delight The mist of rain against my face Insisted that I join the game Then swiftly as it came, it left And left me feeling heaven blesse It scampered eastward with the breeze No keepsakes left, but dripping trees And lovely scents of grass and clover The shower gone, in one swift flight I watched the moon take back the night ______________________ For the Contest: May Showers: Sponsor Nayda Ivette Negron

The last line is priceless, Carrie. The whole poem is first class, but, as so seldom happens, one line is gigantic. Love, daver
