Notes About The Poem
Constance La France's 2026-04-02 Write a Beautiful Terza Rima' Poetry Contest...12 April 26...' There is something in the rain that makes us feel like hugging our world...' by poet

We Huddle Amidst Sudden Rainfall

Pink the sunset which filtered through the leaves
to burnish your skin on one afternoon,
when fireflies glittered like radiant weaves,
  
Vanishing in the grass. We knew that soon
those ebony clouds gathering would force
us to flee the glade through a birdsong’s tune:
 
Enticed  then to stay, stay madly on course,
dare the oncoming rainfall ...and a smile
enlivened your face with such insolent force.
 
Till lightning crackled as we wait a while,
you gasped,  and oh we fondled everywhere;
while a conniving star reeled to beguile.

A wildcat rushed out and paused low to stare,
While we huddled tightly ... too close to care!
