Enjoy The Rain
The sky, colored all shades of grey,
blocks out searing rays of sunlight.
And as clouds start cooling the day,
sprinkles bring a welcome delight.
A splashing sound
quenches the ground.
Droplets freckle the dirt with spots,
where the thirsty soil absorbs them.
And drops, drumming on roofs and pots,
frighten the dogs, causing mayhem.
A little rain
can entertain.
Nature loves taking a shower;
for it makes everything look clean.
And every tree, bush, and flower
tends to gleam with a misty sheen.
Raindrops aren't tears,
nor liquid spears.
Showers summon a cooling mist
as tumbling drops moisten the sky.
And your wet skin feels freshly kissed,
instead of sweaty, hot, and dry.
So, don't complain:
enjoy the rain!
