The Rain
When the spring bursts into bloom again I come along in showers of rain Watch as I dance upon flowerbeds Aiding plants to raise their pretty heads. Listen to my rhythmic melody Whether brisk or slow my tempo be Taste me and drink me abundantly In quenching cups of coffee or tea. Luxuriate in me as you bathe I ease away body aches and pains Feel the softness of your silky skin It's I that beautifies from within. I hydrate trees so leaves grow and glow And crops grown to feed, row after row Creatures on land or those in the sea Are entirely reliant on me. There'd be no rainbows painted on sky If no rain ever fell from on high As I'm passing by in clouds of grey Thank the Lord that I am on the way. *+*+*+* 21st February 2023 In Bloom Poetry Contest Sponsored by,: Joseph May

Lovely poem, Belle! Rain is so elusive in our part of the land. I love your lines, "listen to my rhythmic melody, whether brisk or slow my tempo be." Nothing quite beats the sound of raindrops. Congrats!

Ann that’s so lovely of you, I love the sounds of raindrops too, pitter and pattering as they do. I pray there’ll be rain soon for you. Thank you very much ~ Belle
