Notes About The Poem

Image result for dancing in the rain

My Five Senses

Rain falls outside my window so softly,
the grass, flowers and trees need it awfully,
and I sit drinking tea listening calmly.
   Drip, drop and wind chimes whisper,
      and wind chimes whisper.

In the distance the splash of cars on the road,
yet, there is a silence and the world has slowed,
I can taste a sweetness that will soon explode,
    Drip, drop and wind chimes whisper.

Hidden in dripping branches -  a bird twitter,
looking closely I see it quiver and a wing flutter,
then a chickadee appears to sing and chitter,
    Drip, drop and wind chimes whisper.

There is a delicious smell in the hazy air,
I breath it in without a worldly care,
as raindrops are falling on my soaked hair,
    Drip, drop and wind chimes whisper.

I touch the drooping garden flowers as I twirl,
spinning in a glorious dance-  I whirl,
the why of nature flows into the soul of this girl.
    Drip, drop and wind chimes whisper,
      and wind chimes whisper.

Although it is a hot summer day here in my hometown, for a moment I was sitting with you, feeling the dampness and cool air from the softly falling rain, ...wind chimes whispering in my ear, and feeling so refreshed! Thank you for sharing this lovely moment. Congrats to your top placement!

The drip drop of this poem brings back so many fond memories of rain, you have made me homesick for some. My grass is brown and my flowers are sobbing. The muse and I are crying to give a bit of dampness to our day.
