Raining In Summer
Torrential downpours drown this summer day;
huge puddles forming, filled with tears of rain.
No sun and sky of blue- my heart gives way
to sadness while my mood reflects past pain.
Amazing, how a summer storm will bring

Raining in Summer-Symphonic Summer Rain~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I close my eyes
with the sound of rain,
it splatters in puddles,
on the rain gutter,
sharp patter on metal,
dull sound on concrete,
softly drumming oleander leaves.
Rat-at-tat-rat-a-tat-tat-tat. Ping!
Triangles ring on the fireplace flu
Ping! Rat-a-tat-tat-tat. Ping!
Summer rain collects,
cascading from the...

RAINING IN SUMMERRAINING IN SUMMER
There are some for whom rain is a blessing
After weeks of drought and dry riverbeds
Those precious droplets of cool clear water
Yet hardly enough to restore cracked earth
But welcome, as many rush to fill...

Symmetry Of SoulsWalking in silence in the soft summers rain,
In treetops a song thrush singing your name.
Asleep Sensuous memories, if you only knew,
Seeking solace in rainbows I see only you .
Swifts soar skywards like ballerinas...

Raining in SummerI've always lived in Southern California.
I've never heard of summer rain.
This notion, I have to say, quite honestly,
Strikes me as insane.
I might as well speak of fluffy penguins
Who live in the Sahara,
Or opine on...

Morning started with just a tiny mist,
leaves on plants are just being kissed.
It won’t be long,
until they’re strong,
and from my water hose they ‘ll subsist.

Squaring The Circle - Square DanceWho said life was going to be fair?
Come on, let’s make this circle square,
Poor as church mice, bolder than brass,
Circle right then show me the cash.
We'll keep it underneath your hat,
But there’s no room to...

The SymphonySometimes, always,
& rather unsurprisingly,
I start to wonder…
why...my heart cannot explain,
the corporeal notes,
of music,
in just a droplet,
of rain.

The River Flows SouthThe river waters flow
Like the blood runs through my veins
Wherever they may go
They carry my joys and pains
And when the waters rise
From a torrential rain
Like the teardrops in my eyes
It leaves a lasting...

Sorrow birdThe sorrow bird
Sings to no living thing
But the rain. It
Shakes its wet wings
So one day it might fly
Away to a new perch
So lovely and dry

Yard Work
Written: by Miracle Man

The morning has started with a drizzle falling,
my name, the tall grass, seems to be calling.
But a puddled yard,
makes mowing hard,
and daily rains have made mowing appalling.

Under Clearer SkiesUnderneath cloudy morning skies,
we can touch the rain,
we can feel our pain,
we can witness sorrow.
Underneath clearer afternoon skies,
we can observe the light,
we can experience warmth,
we can feel the sun,
then maybe everyone,
will somehow see tomorrow.
