Constance La France Poet Verse

''The Rain Came''

    When I left home the sun was shining bright,
       then clouds appeared above;
    dark and sinister, drifting   t w i s t i n g   and swirling,
       rain began
                        f
                            a
                                l
                                    l
                                        i
                                            n
                                                g       in quiet little drops.
    Soon it was a drenching downpour assault,
      at first it was quite delightful;
then things went from nice to a  d e l u g e  of rain,
        a great flood of water;
        I was starting to  p a n i c,
what was needed was Noah's Arc to save me from the surge;
          oh yes come on-  lower that ramp for this  d r o w n i n g  girl . . .

James Inman September 3, 2016 at 10:14 AM A metaphor? It seems to be too often about my life BW. The sun shines, the rain falls and there, too often, is no release from the storm.

Frederic Parker August 31, 2016 at 6:43 PM Funny as I'm reading this I'm about to get hit with a tropical storm, it has already dropped 6'' of rain today..

Daniel Turner August 31, 2016 at 11:03 AM Rain is a lot like love. When it first shows up it's usually pleasant but then when it starts to come on a little strong, we always run for shelter.
