Glen Schwartz Poet Light Verse

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..

Ralph Sergi May 14, 2017 at 3:26 PM 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! Glen Schwartz May 14, 2017 at 4:32 PM Just showing the bad side of rain as it often shows the bad side of me :) Thanks for the nice comments Ralph..

Andrea Dietrich May 7, 2017 at 8:51 PM 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! Glen Schwartz May 7, 2017 at 9:11 PM 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
