Guess what?...

[Aunty Em]

...It's raining...

Rainy Days and Mondays

I like rain.

Not the soft,
namby-pamby
misty autumn morning sort,
that touches you like fairy dew,
leaves you wanting more.

The bouncing-off-the-ground,
who-turned-on-the-taps,
stinging face kind
that slaps you
like an overwrought lover,
drenches through to skin,
makes you think -
"I should've brought the shower gel,”
leaves you
slick-hair plastered,
cleansed of all impurities.

I like rain --
no-one can see you cry.

That was really quite fine, Aunty. I like the rain too, but I'm afraid we'd need one of biblical proportions to wash away all of my impurities.

Nice po-em Em

Sad though...just what I need on a rainy day - sad poems

 

[Aunty Em]

I've spent a lot of time sitting in the rain...

Nice po-em Em

... a lot of my poetry is like that...little snapshots in time...
