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. Cindy
