Francine Roberts Poet Rhyme

More Rain

I hear the dry ground crackle
as the drops begin to fall.
Lightly at first, then just the sound of rain.
It doesn't feel like summer at all.

A few days of sunshine here and there
is all we saw this Spring.
Looking at this dreary rain
we wonder what July will bring.

I don't usually like the summer heat.
Too hot to enjoy at all.
But this dismal weather has got to go.
We'd like to see Summer before we head into the fall.

It could be worse , I know it could.
At least the rain brings a peaceful sound
and if I stop complaining and just be patient
maybe Summer will finally come around.

Lindsay Laurie July 8, 2020 at 9:08 PM G'day Francine … like you, we missed most of our summer down south, and now our winter is quite cool. Your poem reminds me so much of how our summer went - thank you Francine - Lindsay Francine Roberts July 8, 2020 at 10:40 PM and where down south. My oldest daughter and family live in Tasmania
