The Robin Sings

I can hear him loudly
outside my kitchen window,
the clouds have opened up
rain falls; the wind blows.

The robin still sings
oh, so joyfully,
hopping from branch to branch
clearly on a singing spree.

Too bad its lovely tune
couldn't get rid of the rain,
it's so cold; very damp
seedlings are very strained.

The soil in my gardens haven't been able to dry, because we've been getting a lot of rain. It rains every two or three days and when it does, it's a downpour. I don't think I'll be seeing any flowers this Summer. Everything is at least two months behind.
