May Showers

Rain, Rain go away, this job has lost another day. April showers have ran into May, and the men have lost a week of pay. Dirt and rain become a torrent of mud, and we can not work in this kind of crud. We dig the footings, they become a moat. I'll tell you this rain has really got my goat.. There's mud in my office and mud in my truck. I hear thunder in the distance more rain, Just my luck... These May showers have become my bane ! If they don't subside soon, they'll float this job down the drain..

Hi Glenn: You created another poetic side of rain and I see the reality and the anger in the poem. All poems of Nature need not be so poetic or positive. Great Write!

oh, Glen. I feel your pain. i too have tried to enter contests, only to miss them by minutes. So sorry this happened to you. It is a very good poem, so just look at it as a new poem in your collection. A lot of people don't post for contests anyway. a SEVEN on this one!

Thank you Andrea , your so right .. I write to create smiles and soften hearts, mostly my own :) Contests often get me to the writing table usually to see if I can make something from just a title.. Just for fun..lol
