A Rainy Day


We sat watching the little water droplets 
wetting our window pane 
on a slushy wet rainy day,
The rain was calling us outside to play 
So, out we went,
donned with our raincoats and boots,
and our colourful umbrellas,
Me, my brother and our ever faithful, Snowy,
We danced with our open umbrellas,
Three naughty fellas,
Lapping up the rain,
water pouring down our eager little faces,
Who could enjoy the rain more than us?
With our hands widespread and a smile on our faces,
we jumped, splashed and created our own little poodles,
We ran up and down the empty street,
The rain called out to us,
and we seized the only chance we had,
of enjoying the lovely rainy day,
Rain, rain, don't go away.

Congratulations on your win, my friend! Even as an adult, I have taken my shoes off and ran home in the rain just for the fun of it! This is such a lovely nostalgic poem celebrating the wonders of playing in the rain! Bravo! Pandita

Well written! I remember times enjoying the rain and playing with the brooks running down the edge of the street, making little waterfalls and things. This brought me back :)
