Notes About The Poem

Rainy Day Poem

In a cozy corner of my attic I sit
changing syllables for you, to lyrics

Perched on my window pane, tiger tabby
commenced cleaning its paws already

Soon, my zinc roof brings instrumental sounds
with rain that soothes my very soul

I pause; look out at dancing tamarind
leaves, drenched, yet holding in the wind

And I think to myself, how nostalgic
each moment; making me feel romantic.
