Throw your umbrella to the wind... Let mother nature generously bless you With her therapeutic cloudburst Take off the raincoat; get wet for a change Walk, better yet, prance under this heavy rainfall Pause and listen attentively An angel is strumming his harp just for you Don't run out of this rain Let it spatter atop your head Go ahead, jump up and splash Into water puddles beneath your feet Twirl like a dervish and squeal with delight As raindrops fall like confetti Here's your chance to be a kid again! Don't be shy, there isn't a soul in sight! Who knows when you'll get this opportunity again? A moment like this is one in a million Live for it; seize it with a vice-like grip ULTIMATE FEBRUARY 2019,ANY FORM,ANY THEME,UPTO MAX OF 20 LINES Sponsored by: Brian Strand (Winner: 1st Place) A Rainy Day Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Sara Kendrick (Winner: 5th Place) Inspiration: Photo 5 Date written and posted: 09/16/2018

Nice! We should all return to our childhood and splash in a puddle once in a while.
