This poem came as I sat watching a spring rain wash nature clean.

Pain and Rain On a wet, spring day Branches drip loneliness. Sunbeams stream gentleness Pain and rain stain the soul. Distance separates. Ablutions wash winter's grime. Absolution is near.

A rainy day is a perfect day to write poetry. Writing somehow soothes the soul. Congratulations on your lovely win Kathleen! : )

Thank you, John, It is always so good to hear from you. I'm rather in the same place. The summer hasn't been my best time for writing. I have a number started but the words don't seem to be flowing. Looking forward to Jan-Feb when we'll be on the CA coast. The ocean is so soothing. Best wishes to you as you move forward with your writing!

This is very nice, Kathleen...very nice indeed. Thought it was time I should call around and see how you keeping these days? Well I hope! I have not had many spare hours for poetry of late; I intend to get down to some serious writing very soon. All my warmest regards, Kathleen - And my very best wishes as always! :) john
