P.S. Awtry Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Rain Dance

rain dance

Evil takes his victory lap
while ashes like confetti fall.
But demons stay their hands mid-clap,
now doubting they’ve won, after all...

For on the charred and war-stained sands,
Hope, in pink galoshes stands.

Robert Lindley October 3, 2019 at 4:04 PM Splendid creation my friend. The depths of truth and the insight shows in six poetic verses a soul that seeks not the sweeter candy that so many modern poets just love to so deeply wallow in.IMHO.. A fav.. closing verses are perfect.. P.S. Awtry October 3, 2019 at 5:46 PM Robert thank you so much for your comments and for the much appreciated fav! -ps
