In Rain Bask

Solid overcast skies_light gray
    Gentle breeze stirs wet air
Moisture penentrates everything
    Day to play without care

Got to go in from the porch soon
    Get busy with task
There are many chores to be done
    What?_ maybe in rain bask

The rain is flooding down heavy 
    Click-clack the simple sound
At times there is a roar like train
    On long, long journey bound

Now surrounded in stereo
    Rain sounds, rain dampened page
Rain dampened hair, but not cold_comfy
    Rain come stay let loose sage

We haven't had much rain to bask in this summer. It's been a little dryer than usual. Good poem Sarah.

I love your poem. I fish a lot and when I'm by myself and it's raining I love it. Nothing better than just me and the rain. You nailed it. Good job
