Best Poems Written by Marna Henrico

Light Rain

Something trickles over my brow.
I look up to see clouds,
lightly shaded in grey.
My heart beats with 
a wild kind of hope…


A family of drops follow;
a blessing to the earth.
I cup my hands, 
try to catch them.
But they slip
from my hold.

Plonk.
Plonk. 
Splash.
The beat to which I dance..
Delighting in the watery chaos.

The clean, clear smell 
of the air
marks an end to 
my light shower.
Drenched, 
I shiver in the breeze.

Everything around me sparkles!
My eyes flit from flowers, 
to grass blades, 
to the shiny, dark street.

For just a few minutes 
I was a part of nature.
Fun-filled moments 
in which it also
seemed a part of me.
