Notes About The Poem

Not for contest

Say What

It’s raining cats and dogs 
Do you know why
Us young kids shout
Devil is beating his wife

What crazy superstitions
We had in North Carolina 
A woman’s intuition 
Was powerfully finer 

Step on a crack
Break your mother’s back
Why would you do that
It’d make her very sad 

My muse has had a few
Forgive my inconsistency 
The more writing I do
The less my muse screams

It’s thundering and lightning 
God’s moving His furniture 
Must be so elegant exciting 
Watching the world turning Sir

Last night I had sweet dreams
The sandman was nice to me
A lullaby the angels sing
Soft as their fluffy white wings
