Raining Rain

"It isn't raining rain to me" Only a garden down Soon there'll be tomatoes for tea Peas, beans, corn, squash _no frown Clouds of gray set blue mood today As the fireball sun peeks Through cobalt to greet, all with rays Of sand, on those clouds batik Beginning line direct quote Robert Loveman. The poem made him famous. He was orginally from Georgia.

beautiful descriptive lines. PS I lived in Georgia for 5 years and loved it, miss the magnolia trees, the boiled peanuts, the slower pace, the front porch swings, yet I found a little town up North to settle where the folks are just as friendly :) Have a blessed day, enjoyed your poetry this morn.
