Against The Dearth Of Monday Poems


"Let the rain kiss you
Let the rain beat upon your head with silver liquid drops
Let the rain sing you a lullaby
The rain makes still pools on the sidewalk
The rain makes running pools in the gutter
The rain plays a little sleep song on our roof at night
And I love the rain.
"

April Rain Song

  10. Love this Merisi! And the two that come after it. I haven't been here for a few days. I hope it's going to rain here today.
