Notes About The Poem

Romance In the Rain

We strolled for an hour in a rain shower My face looked quite sour, I felt very dour You found a wild flower I didn’t glower! By a tall tower we found a bower I laid our picnic for us to devour You kissed me with power I didn’t cower!

very cool how you got all the rhymes in and I think they were all , for ME, true rhymes. I am seeing others not using all perfect rhymes in their poems. Hope you place, sweetie!

I use rhymezone which seems to cater for the US dialect so I hope John likes my poem I did find it quite a challenge to write and get some sort of story running through it:-) hugs Jan xx
