CRUEL RAIN

Days upon days the rain lashed down
Drowning my beautiful flowers crowns

The grasses have grown knee high
Seemingly trying to reach the sky's

Knowingly stepping out
I will feel the rains clout

The birds are hiding in the trees
Me, walking in puddles up to my knees

What more can I say
Will I be washed away?

Nope I have a big tin tray at the ready
And a paddle to keep me steady

An adventure, or pain in the ash
Splashing down again, sorry must dash

OH NO! the tray and paddle have gone astray
Down the street I see them sway

Wait! I yell you've set off too soon
I laugh now the rain is in a swoon

Well now to end my tale
I've bought a boat with a sail

Hi, EXRED, we have a (seemingly endless drought) over here (NSW). I guess the weather has gone more than a bit crazy. Is it too late?

Sent them my way
Its to hot I say
I love it to rain today
So I can dance and play

I would rather have the rain any day
Being born in a hot ,humid place
Is not my cup of coffee/tea
But its not too late to pray

Thank you for your exciting poem
Makes me think of you
In a yellow rain coat
And red wet boots

The same here. Northeast U.S. - Midwest and southeast are swimming where as the West coast and southwest are hot (Texas over 100 every day) and usually dry. Just praying no more forest fires or floods either one Take care - remember when driving and water running across the road "Turn around - don't drown". That's what our weather guy is always saying. But now you have a boat with a SAIL!!
