Sudden rain
will there be
a rainbow?
Patches of
bright blue sky
peep through clouds
Raindrops cease
petrichor
scent rises

I'll wait for you at sunset
That month on thirteenth day
We'll share a kiss at twilight
And toast along the way
Veuve Clicquot in fluted,
Crystal champagne glass
A sip of golden nectar
To start us on our path
Full Pink Moon to guide us
A focused beam of light
While stars map constellations
In heavens clear and bright
Silver clouds in motion
Adrift across the sky
There's no one else for miles
It's only you and I
A spring-fed lake reflecting
Your lovely face so fair
Halos formed from frosty mist
Cast highlights 'round your hair
Eyes aquamarine, translucent
My heart pierced through and through
Here I am, your troubadour
Forever I'll love you

Here come April showers.
Here come the last snow flurries.
The trees are jolly and rejuvenating,
Since the weather is now cool, spring
Is here. Yes, the lilies are blooming.
Here come the fledgling flowers.
The parks have extended their hours.
The children are roller skating and playing,
The track and field team is practicing,
And the dog owners are smirking and strolling.
Spring is here. The air is brand-new and fresh.
It rains sporadically. ‘Tis the time to stretch
Our imagination, to enjoy life to the fullest,
And to renew relationship. This is the best
Time to charm, chill, relax, pause, and rest.

Raindrops and showers,
April opens its windows
looking at the flowers.
Cloudy and sunny days,
cold and warm feelings
crossing different ways.
April has magic sleeves
that you can hide or show,
as well as your slept dreams.
April is like an old singer,
recording songs every year,
staying and trying to linger.
April turns dark days brighter,
It persuades the birds to sing
their better songs much higher.

In the hush of April showers,
Whispering secrets of rebirth and decay,
I find myself lost in the labyrinth
Of dampened streets and sodden souls.
The rain taps softly on my windowpane,
A rhythmic reminder of time's ceaseless flow,
And I, a specter in this world,
Drift aimlessly through the fog of existence.
Each droplet a prism, refracting memories,
Fragmented visions of forgotten days,
Echoes of voices long silenced,
Lost in the cacophony of modern life.
In this dampened urban landscape,
Where the city streets gleam with melancholy,
I search for meaning amidst the shadows,
Tracing the footsteps of ghosts.
Their words linger in the misty air,
A haunting melody of despair and hope,
Guiding me through the darkened alleys,
Towards a fleeting glimpse of understanding.
And as the April showers fade into memory,
Leaving behind traces of renewal and decay,
I find solace in the beauty of the rain,
And in the echoes of a name.

April showers
Drip drip drop,
Little April Showers,
Falling from the clouds,
The rain drops down
Each drip and drop sounds
Different as it hits the grounds
Natures musical melody
It's healing harmony
Pittering and pattering,
Splishing and spitting,
Black clouds are forming,
It's the sky's final warning,
Before the heavens dawning,
And then the rain comes pouring,
Crashing and clashing,
Splashing and sploshing
It's time to dig up some recruits,
Your wellie boot troops,
Raincoat is armed for any puddlish pursuits Umbrella up, stand and salute.
Drip drop,
Drip drip drop,
Drip drop drip drip drop,
Little April shower raindrops.

Dancing in the rain in the UK
The water is pouring and pounding down
And I'm dancing no doubt looking insane,
But I can feel the rain's rhythm as it beats down,
As it rebounds off the ground again and again,
Each raindrop creates a ripple as it rebounds
Each raindrop has its own sound rain is not plain
It's nature's beat to invite you to move your feet
Let dancing to nature's beat wash away all your troubles
You might get wet wet wet having a blast skipping through puddles
Go dance in the rain if you live in the UK do it definitely,
We might as well try to enjoy the cards we've been delt unfortunately,
Because the rain rain doesn't go away in the UK
It's still here come mothers washing day
Thank god for tumble dryers for the 360 days where its raining it's pouring
The old man is snoring he went to bed and bumped his head and couldn't go to work in the morning because the rain was still bloody pouring.

April showers again.
This year so different,
never ending it seems,
as all our thoughts are spent
on coming Summer dreams.
April showers again.
Never ending rain storm,
coming down hard and fast,
wishing weather would warm
like the Springs of the past.
April showers again.
Flowers need it I guess.
So we should not complain
though we wish there were less
endless days of this rain.

Healing balms from heaven,
April showers so cool,
Fall on us like feather;
Revive body and soul,
Sweep out the closed weather...!
Romantic warmth they give,
Like graces from heaven,
Chill-thrill each inner cell;
Green grass and moss unfurl,
Like smooth velvet spread well...!
Fog and mist hide in fear,
In an air-cooled climate,
Jet streams fly far away;
Clouds, as though wet white lambs,
Beneath skies stay and sway...!
Fertile earth, sprout dead seeds,
Blooms with new creation,
Daisies and sweet peas spread;
Attuned with the cosmos,
Nature's flow moves ahead...!

April showers its bliss
With oozing petals’ flame
As spring’s reveille plays
Waves its sunrise of joy
Carpeting our pathways.
Aprils showers its bliss
In fragrance’s delight
Flowers sway to and fro
Leaning on breeze’s arms
Trusting in perfect duo.
April showers its bliss
With glowing endless smiles
As critters fly and sing
In harmonious voices
For this month’s good tiding.
April showers its bliss
In rainbow-love’s cloudburst
Easter sits our heart’s nest
Filling lights, no darkness
For God blessed April’s best.

The Showers fall gently
giving all plants a drink
it is watering time
pretty flowers in pink
wow back ground of key lime
The Showers fall gently
are they God's loving tears
is He happy or sad
showers wash away fears
He is our loving Dad

April showers just fetch
rainbow of hues for mirth
clues and balms everywhere
as man's heart with its dearth
bees humming must beware!
April showers just fetch
blossoms in varied scales
moths fly high in the air
with sinus-tickling wails
birds hoard eat seeds with care
April showers just fetch
life booming all around
shun teasing the bird-thrush
worms crawling can be found
on your boots will rise mush
April showers just fetch
a flooring of fresh lawn
may blooms are on the way
bear ageless hope to bring
cheer look forward to May.

April Showers Bring May Flowers*
Month April tops the chart
for showers to appear,
with rain, both day and night-
and ofttimes does present
a most unwelcomed sight.
Month April tops the chart
hydrating soil that March,
with gusty winds, dried out.
Life-giving rain restores
root energy to sprout.
Month April tops the chart
for taking a back seat
to being favored time-
to nurture flowers that
make month of May sublime.
Month April tops the chart
for keeping us indoors-
for April's working hard,
with gloomy days and rain-
to bring May to our yard.

April showers now bring
Roses and fragrant blooms
The charm of verdant spring
In breeze, the flowers nod
What joy these blossoms bring.
April showers now bring
Daisies and daffodils
In neat floral display
On the craggy hilltops
In beauteous array
April showers now bring
A carpet of green grass
Over the barren land
With a spread of small blooms
A sight so fair and grand
April showers now bring
Green loveliness to earth
Bunnies and bees surprise,
With their smart, playful moves
What grand feast to our eyes!
