Rain

Rivulets of water run down my windows. I rush outside so I can rescue my washing. Its ruined! I’m extremely riled as they had forecast rays of bright warm sunshine 6 syllables per line – how many syllables Sponsored by Kim Merryman 04/14/21

Remedy given by rain is really great as this rendezvous is made by God and roots find to create a route to receive rain or else they are by drought routed.

*Huh* I commiserate with you on having washing let out to dry to come back and find it wet (forecast not good). Nonetheless I enjoyed the write.

Dear Jan, your clever pen flows with "riled" yet sweet ink in this creative piece. I adore the emotion that rides your imagery so smoothly. I love the video clip of Eruption covering "I Can't Stand The Rain" .. and I remember and loved the original recording of the song by Ann Peebles in 1973.. wow! so long ago, it seems unreal! Congratulations for your wonderful win. Warmest wishes and hugs.. ~Susan
