Jan Allison Poet Acrostic

Notes About The Poem

Raindrops Acrostic

Rivulets of rain run down my misty window pane 
All day long the cats and dogs have teemed down
I really need some sunshine on my pale skin
Non-stop rain makes me feel chilled to the bone
Drip, drip, drip, crystal teardrops fall from the sky
Rivers are swollen I hope there is no more flooding
Overcoats and wellies are worn by everyone
Please can the rain stop falling 
Summer sunshine you are welcome to come and visit us soon

Olive Eloisa Guillermo - Fraser July 23, 2015 at 10:41 PM Jan, my senses you filled with your poem...!!! however, I agree that please no flood as not only persons suffer but also the little creatures... hugs!~Olive Eloisa =') Jan Allison July 24, 2015 at 2:38 AM I just fell in love with the picture when i was looking for one to go with the picture :-) Thankfully we do not get flooding often - the last time was when we had VERY strong winds and high tides and there were homes badly damaged from the water - the pictures of people canoeing along one of the high streets in the North of the Island have always stuck in my head! hugs jan xx

Connie Marcum Wong July 23, 2015 at 3:08 PM There can be a sadness in the rain. You have expressed that melancholy feeling wonderfully in your poem Jan. I will send you some of this Hawaiian heat we are having. Cheers, Connie Jan Allison July 23, 2015 at 3:13 PM oh please do send some sunshine but not too hot I am not a great sun worshiper but I would like it a few degrees warmer:-) hugs Jan xx

Paul Schneiter July 23, 2015 at 2:00 PM I didn't notice the acrostic because I was so caught up in the wonderful imagery. First rate, Jan, as is your custom. Hugs always. Jan Allison July 23, 2015 at 2:34 PM Thanks Paul for you kind comment:-) hugs jan xx

Demetrios Trifiatis July 23, 2015 at 11:01 AM We are missing the rain here as the temperature is from 35 and up! A wonderful acrostic very poetically expressed, dear Jan. Jan Allison July 23, 2015 at 11:04 AM Can you send a few rays of sunshine this way please - but not too hot I like it about 22 - 23 degrees:-) hugs jan xx

Maurice Rigoler July 23, 2015 at 10:39 AM When it rains I open a bottle of champagne – in no time my life is sunny and warm! At the moment we are frying in summer heat. Thanks for pointing out my misspelling of harmony. / M Jan Allison July 23, 2015 at 10:41 AM I rarely drink Maurice .... but I do like the odd glass of champagne:-) hugss Jan xx

Kp Nunez July 23, 2015 at 9:58 AM I know the feeling Jan. Yesterday we had such heavy rainfall accompanied by ice particles. Imagine a tropical country getting ice rain. Your acrostic has a good flow - one doesn't realize it until I see the form. Good one, Jan! hugs :-) Jan Allison July 23, 2015 at 10:04 AM Thanks so much Kim - we actually have had a dry sunny morning which was so welcome - mum and I went for a longggggggggggg walk:-) hugs Jan xx
