Notes About The Poem

Unbidden


o, unbidden rain, I welcome you to my garden
the flowers are thirsty . . . . .
we have been  w a i t i n g  for you
the cosmos, daisies and red roses are hanging their heads
                           F
                           A
                           L
                           L         rain with glistening drops, gentle
and with deep love kiss each sweet petal and tender leaf
the vines are reaching out their tendrils  t w i n i n g   and curling
o, the pleasant petrichor scent, the delightful drip, dripping
  can you hear the flowers  s i n g i n g   even a green frog yells out . . .
                  thanks, do come again rain
                          rain, come our way again . . .
