Lala land by the street lamp - The lemon and lime raindrops Land, one by one, on my tongue. The flavors mix with the storm And sugar cone; tangy cold On my lips. Warmer with melt - The sour savor of colors And sip of rainwater muse.

Yep, good weather would not hurt. If I read one more street lamp poem, my bulb will pop. Excellent writing though. Love "The flavors mix with the storm And sugar cone; tangy cold On my lips." -- Blessings.
