Giggles and piping squeals flash A windblown umbrella...jackets tossed; Bathed pure in summertime’s rainfall Crystal as one August afternoon! Until evening calls us to head back home— To ignore this raucous outpour… And dry our wet bodies from cloudburst: Yet, amid the gush of monsoon We revel in this pageantry And celebrate a wonder of NOW Tasting the salty drops on our lips… Oh isn’t that spontaneous? Hip hopping with balmy trees Drenched by free movement, unrestrained: Joyful the patter dribbling on my skin An inner child who finds innocence, Through a sweet pleasure of allowing The natural happenstance which invites; “ Dance, women and children, dance” For today’s thrill , rare, shall come just once! 10/2/2018 For Sandra Kendrick’s A Rainy Day Contest ------------------- Photo #2

Getting a little wet is fun when the weather is accommodating. The water drips off our hair. I most like watching rain from home. I know where the water is going to flow and I get a kick out of it. Not so much fun when driving or away. I feel as though I’m missing something.

Love this write, Nette.. everyday is a treasure to be celebrated! Even our most difficult days hold those moments of joy and peace. Sometimes we are meant to be in the rain without an umbrella.. childlike wonder often calls but are we listening? Your words inspire!

I loved doing that as a kid; there's just something about getting wet and messy that appeals during a a rain or a shower. Beautiful images.
