Gentle Rains

Venomous snakes, hard rains savage Mercury, Venus and Mars hissing like boas and rattlers plunging into rocky reservoirs On Earth, gentle rains dance lightly atop welcoming green lawns Perfuming Spring's warm, soft air refreshing the world at dawn

G'day Gershon … without the rain we have nothing; in fact we couldn't be here. Very interesting verse Gershon - Lindsay

Actually, I'm a little closer to Neptune and Uranus -- 'cos I'm just so 'far-out.' (Groan). Thanks, Jenish.

This IS like all the other planets, all space, with, SO FAR, this one blue-green, teeny tiny gem in the universe that is so lovely! Heads up for May 16th where a crescent moon and two planets will give us a Cheshire grin (moon smile, 2 planets the eyes). That should bring a little levity! The universe, not only granting us Springtime but a giant Happy Face too!
