summer rain
arrives before sunset
summer rain
lowers the temperature
summer rain
fills our water feature
summer rain
pours from the eaves
summer rain
pools in the flower beds
summer rain
makes green grass glow
summer rain
soaks outdoor furniture
summer rain
runs down the driveway
summer rain
drums on the window
summer rain
drowns out the radio
summer rain
turns grey fences brown
summer rain
washes gutters clean
summer rain
glistens like crystal
Lovely poem - but here in Ireland I've had enough summer rain to last a lifetime - we need some sun!
ReplyDeleteIt's all relative, isn't it?! When it's too hot we yearn for a cool change, and vice versa.
DeleteNat, that's very fine. I'm hearing the song...you singing your rain poem, a strong funky bass line behind, a good drummer (who knows his cymbals) someplace in the middle with a BEAT, then maybe a good blast of B3 organ coming in when it should. (Just my imagination running away from me!) Cheers.
ReplyDeleteRob, I absolutely love the sound of that, especially the B3 burst/blast! I cannot sing or play an instrument, but I am a music lover and have often thought it would be great to have some of my poetry set to music. So, if you know a good rhythm section and a keyboard player, have at it!
Deleteyes, the drumming summer rain. So evocative, Nat.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Efi.
