Caren Krutsinger Poet Free verse

Zeus Is Coming To Get Me

they run for their umbrellas
I scoff
none of them realize
this is a violet's favorite rain
it comes down in the gentlest of ways
tiny droplets, refreshing and replenishing

people try to get me to take a ride
i politely refuse
extending my arms out to show I love this
some shake their heads
others smile
remembering a time when they did this too?

rain picks up pace. It is colder now
I put my umbrella up
hoping to see something struck by lightning
A loud cymbal crash of thunder makes me smile
Zeus is coming to get me
I feel loved

But not in the thunder showers. Caren Krutsinger June 13, 2021 at 12:10 AM I walk in the rain no matter what; sadly ignoring danger.

L Milton Hankins June 12, 2021 at 11:15 AM Marvelous, Caren. Deb and I were sort of smashed after dinner at the Seagram's Tower at Niagara Falls. We left in a rain, running back to the hotel while singing that song. People thought we were nuts. We were, ah, but what fun! You brought back that wonderful memory.
