What the world loves is dancing in the rain

Puddle-jump stomp step.
Squeals of joy – can’t stop.
Little kids frolic in a gumboot dance!
Plip plop!
Drip... drop... drip!

I love this one. Little children for some reason love those waterproof boot that they can put on by themselves for some reason even if it isn't raining but rain coming down makes it even more special. Thanks for sharing this one with us. Sara K

Joyful poem....adults too carry that desire to stomp but hold back...pity. Would do us all good to connect with nature and ourselves. Enjoyed.

Thanks for commenting, Paul. I agree. Wish I could show you the video of my toddler granddaughter doing this!
