It Happened on a Rainy Night - Collaboration Poetry Contest -

First stanza - Charles Messina

Foggy mists engulfed the bright When raindrops fell throughout the night The lampposts glowed at midnights dark When sweethearts kissed at Lover's Park ‘Twas the splendour of their sweet kiss That led to years of intense bliss Gentle rainfall and lamppost glow Enhanced the stellar, long ago

I just love this poem, Belle. You captured the misty beauty of September so artistically. That was a splendorous night, filled with a kiss that brought them a lifetime of bliss. Reminds me of my hubby and I....we met in September, and I still remember that 1st kis. Faving this one, Sara

That's so clever Belle, you have written a last stanza for Charlie. No one else will think to do that, and its a beauty! oops pardon the Aussie slang. Belle I can tell there is a beautiful smile that's being hidden from your profile. Would love to see the whole picture. Cheers SV.

Thank you very much SV. It’s taken me ages to get a picture on my profile, at last I’ve achieved it, but my photos come up blurred, this one I used is not too bad, it will do until I can find one that comes up clearer. … Belle
