Nette Onclaud Poet Carpe Diem

Notes About The Poem

                                     

 

 

                                

Let It Rain Awhile

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!

Duke Beaufort October 4, 2018 at 7:55 PM 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.

M. L. Kiser October 1, 2018 at 10:19 PM 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.
