A Patch of Blue

A Patch of Blue When raindrops speckle sidewalks and make the puddles gaily dance; When highways glisten with freckles of sunshine and umbrellas dot the gloom; When trees bow down to storm winds and rainbows dance on roofs I embrace the earth so clean and walk beneath a patch of blue.

Thank you so much Aditi! Love the rain - especially in November. I grew up in the northwest where rain is a part of everyday life. Was hoping the rhythm would duplicate the rhythm of rain. Most appreciative of your congratutions! hugs and blessings!

You have a love affair with rain, I know. It's a blessing to see your positive outlook on life come out in your poetry time and again. Thank you for that. You also have mastered the art of depicting nature, in all her glory. Well done yet again, my friend; a pleasure to read ~ John

How did you know - says she tongue in cheek. Nothing better than a good rainstorm - especially at night - hunkered down. Thank you for noticing my love of nature - God's signature to me and I guess the "tigger" in me can't be denied. Thank you dear friend! Many blessings. Congrats on the Pads last 2 wins!
