Jeanne Mcgee Poet Quintilla

Comes the Rain

Raindrops hit the metal roof in a dancing melody
The night a dark aura of deepest ebony
Softly comes the wind to whisper to the clouds
As sleep beckons through the quiet shrouds
I wrap myself in the softest down of security

Trees release the rain in gentle cascades fall
The ground welcomes moist kiss from the sprawl
And I, curled upon my bed, a voyeur of nature
Realize her features upon my canvas portraiture
And paint with colors the storms light winter shawl

Reason A. Poteet September 24, 2019 at 8:36 AM Great imagery, Jeanne. Loved this one too on my romp through your quintellas this AM. Awhile ago, my grandson asked me, "Why is your grass white, Nana?" We are praying for rain. Two lines to remember: "As sleep beckons through the quiet shrouds / I wrap myself in the softest down of security" Jeanne Mcgee September 24, 2019 at 8:56 AM The mornings here in San Pedro have been so chilly I curl up in the blankets for a few more minutes all comfy and warm...so glad not to have snow...sending our afternoon rains your way!

Tom Cunningham September 20, 2019 at 11:37 PM Can just hear the pitter patter of those rain drops Jeanne, Hope you're having a wonderful time. Greetings from Turkey. Tom. Jeanne Mcgee September 21, 2019 at 7:14 AM It is a glorious morning after the rain here...Spanish classes start on Monday so I have a couple of days to play...will probably never make it to Turkey! Have a wonderful day Tom.
