I like the switch in this little poem, from sadness of memory, to the joy of the rain-sound. Faved. I have a lovely memory of being caught in the rain and running together, drenched, with my friend. Rain is so fun with another, and so soggy alone (another scene switch). J :)

Hello, Jeanette! Thank you for visiting and your kind words. Absolutely agree with you. Being caught in the rain alone is so different with a friend for it is fun.
