I watch the rain fall
and think of birds hunkered down
on their nests–eyes closed.

Rain, rain, rain, rain, rain—
I hope we don’t float away.
At least it’s not snow.

Steady rain last night –
could almost hear thirsty trees
whisper a thank you.

Great Dane looked outside
and, I swear, he whined “meh” once
he saw all that rain

Rain, rain, rain, rain –
tropical storm remnants, feh.
Go back out to sea.

It’s raining again –
drip drip drip drip drip drip drip
drip splash (car passing)

Rain, rain, go away –
there are lawns to mow and weeds
to pull in Freeville.

Soggy soccer time –
ball hits — splat! — then doesn’t roll.
What’s the point, I think.

I’m up before dawn –
spring sounds — robins, grackles,
and the dripping rain.

Rain hits the tin roof –
pattering sound while I sleep.
Hope roof doesn’t leak.
