Michael Wegman Poet Rhyme

Midsummer Rain

Pitter Patter, tiny splashes engulf—
like hungry little feet filling hallways.
A busy day ahead demands results,
and yet my awe creates a rain delay.
Crescendos beyond open windows play,
as the slow fan above my bed keeps time—
a metronome on a midsummer’s day.
Stalling my awakening so sublime,
thank you summer rains for extending sleep so prime!

Connie Marcum Wong November 21, 2018 at 12:46 PM I enjoyed your celebration of the rain so much Michael. Rain sounds soothe the soul and petrichor scents the air with heavenly perfume after it rains. I can't believe no one has left a comment on this beauty. I loved it! Bravo! : ) Michael Wegman November 21, 2018 at 12:57 PM Awe...thank you Connie. That one too was so much fun to create. It's nice to have a new friend who enjoys the simpler things in life...like rain! :-)
