Ralph Sergi Poet Sonnet

Singin' In the Rain Hexsonetta

I often wonder why
when darkness fulls the day
and rain comes in a way
to pour down from the sky
torrentially then die
and leave a scene so gray

Let rain bring on a song
a patter and a beat
like happy dancing feet
to tap and sing along
and feel like you belong
on stage with the elite

so rain can give a sign
that everything’s just fine
