A Simple Refrain

a sweet refrain walking in the rain a child’s game walking in the rain winds rustle leaves, nature’s song a sweet refrain walking in the rain cool relief from a sultry day I step outside walking in the rain light diffused veil of clouds time shadows me walking in the rain lush green leaves a summer day weather front I’d say walking in the rain the sun rests leaves dance I listen to summer’s song walking in the rain a wave of the arms imagination wings childhood relived I’m walking in the rain nothing to lose everything to gain a simple joy found walking in the rain September 11, 2021

I love this Ghazal form. you do it very well. Aren't you supposed to name youself in one of the last lines? I always found that strange about the form. Anyway, I sure enjoyed this, Mike.
