Running From the Rain

RUNNING FROM THE RAIN ... and how often we run from the rain, a seeming need of something. We need to escape more than blue drizzle, but more a running toward the sun, a seeming need of something to escape, driving us into the arms of the sun. We need to escape more than blue drizzle on a day when clouds are threatening to escape. Driving us into the arms of the sun being without sunscreen is it! On a day when clouds are threatening, what could be more threatening, then? Being without sunscreen is it, the rain, slippery concrete, or the running. What could be more threatening than all of this? Oddly, the rain, slippery concrete, or the running. We need to escape more than blue drizzle. All of this, oddly. ... and how often we run from the rain. Written for Proud Pantoum Poetry Contest Sponsored by Caren Krutsinger Won 2nd Place
