Rainy Days

She drizzles on mounds of brick stones Her tresses pouring like silvery mist Robed in a veil of pewter and crystals, Fragrant breath spreading a tune Across the glossed moorland lushly blazed; Till she refreshes the prism of grass Enchanting the eyes from sterling clouds While barefoot kids fondle her taps. In October's daze, winds start to prance As ripened boughs pop confetti of dew... With her voice waltzing across the sky, She delivers a lining in float of mist To gather hues from a wondrous ride As puddles beneath trickles a glow… Oh, the youngest daughter of Rain Coasts on moistened stars; then to fade in grace.

Nette, magical! You did a beautiful job of painting the scene with words. I look forward to dance with and sing in the rain like Gene Kelly.
