Ilene Bauer Poet Rhyme

Rainy Day Reflections

Took my morning walk beneath
A slow but steady rain,
Protected by my new umbrella,
Carried not in vain.

Changed into relaxing clothes
At home and passed the hours
Catching up on reading, sheltered
From some piercing showers.

Packed my suitcase for a trip
And solved some crosswords, too.
A rainy day’s the perfect time
For things one needs to do.

I could accomplish just as much
If sunshine filled the sky
But in that case, to be indoors
I couldn’t justify.

Maurice Rigoler November 30, 2016 at 11:02 AM I enjoy a short walk in the rain. I, too, have written a poem on that experience. A walk in the rain allows me to think, mull things over, even compose a poem in my head. The downside is by the time I'm back in the house I've all but forgotten what I composed! Have a safe trip. / M
