Dancing Raindrops

D   Daisy plays, and Violet bathes in a sudden evening rain                       
A   Anointed too, is Rosie's face, with every gentle drop       
N   Narcissus squeals with laughter, too, and sings a sweet refrain      
C   Crickets dance, wear plaid berets, and do a Celtic hop! 
I    In the mud we’ll find two weeds, they flop about a lot!
N   Nanny Mum, and Granny Plum , play banjos in the band
G   Gardenia's cheeks are white and sleek, she scrubs from end to end
 
R   Rabbits hear the jubilee, and from their holes they pop
A   A squirrel or two, come down the tree, where all the fuss began
I    In spite of fear, the little mouse, looks out to see what’s up
N   Nearby, the cat, just waves his hat, allows the mice some fun!
D   Dogs join in, start chasing cats, they splash, and play like kids
R   Rainbows fill the evening sky, where now the sun peeks in 
O   Overhead, the clouds are tinged, in greens, and blues and reds
P   Pretty is the world tonight, refreshed, and smelling good
S   Softly now the pitter-pat upon on the evening’s hood

This one is wonderful, Carrie. All the goings on were so much fun that I read it three times. I love how the cat allowed the mouse some fun. What a good time, my friend.... Robert.
