Summer Fun Rains

Summer rains are beckoning come outside, come play and sing slip and slap, splish and splash hear those raindrops falling fast! Swing that old umbrella high for now it is the time to fly! Step in puddles, shoes get wet live in the moment, no time to fret! Simple rains do coax and tease chasing childhood memories swish and spatter, soak and splatter no time to fuss, it doesn’t matter! Spurt and sputter, clogged like butter straying leaves clump and clutter rain water rushes down a gutter run fast away, no time to putter! Golden leaf races wild, astray down the pipe and towards the bay chase that crazy leaf away so glad I came outside today! Written 9/9/2022

Laura, your inner child really came out to play with this write! Splashing in the rain is such a soul-freeing activity- "live in the moment, no time to fret!" Your wordplay and alliteration add to the fun of the moment too - "slip and slap, splish and splash" and "swish and spatter, soak and splatter". Good times! Just wish we had more rainy days. Blessings ~ John

Thanks, Susan! I live in Southern California, and this poem was inspired by being outside in a rainstorm! :)
