A Perfect Day

The sky finally opened and really let fly,
Buckets of rain down from the sky.
‘
Children’s  delight: boots, hats and coats, 
Jumping in puddles, making a moat.

Water mirrors give faces a twist,
Were all soaking wet, you get the gist.

A good hot shower, and please a new story,
 How about the Jabberwocky in all its glory.

Little heads droop, still wanting to play,
Off  to bed sweethearts, a perfectly wonderful day.

Yes, somehow this brought back childhood memories. Rainy days seem to have created especially warm and cozy feelings in the heart. Lovely to read. Love, shar

Great write Barbara. Was like that all last week here! Was glad to be blessed with a glimpse of the sun today and a sprinkling of snow on the mountains. Love the poem - lots of lovely memories. Love, Nigel
