For a smile as wide as a country sunrise
Hi everyone! I do love a nice rain. The soft dropping on the roof or window. The fresh smell after a rain. But…this fall we have been getting an abundance of rain, much more than normal. I mean, it rains nearly every day. So, with that came another poem about rain. This one in a comical tone. I admit, not one of my better creations, but, enjoy!
RAIN KEEPS COMING
I love the sound of falling rain,
It leaves a smell so fresh and sweet.
I find it calming for my brain,
But it always gives me wet feet.
Having a nice summer shower,
To give cooling on a hot day,
Reviving each lovely flower,
And getting my feet wet alway.
We know that having rain is good,
Keeping trees and plants growing green.
But with wet feet I really could
Begin to cry, know what I mean?
I love the rain, but like a dream
I wish it stops, before I scream!

oooh! This poem makes in sound like rain is the best thing on earth!

At least you have shoes and the mud isn’t squishing between your toes 😀 Maybe they will replace the wood for you after the rain stops.

Good morning Steve, and here in Nice we a huge rain right now, my morning started with grey clouds, sunder and powerful rain, i’m 15min away from my work, but i couldn’t find umbrella, so had to take a car, happens😂
But rain needed and after the rain the air seems becomes much better around, feels fresh and new, i like to stay home and its raining under a puffy cover with some warm tea and maybe a book or good movie.
I love that sound too, fresh smell is like beginning of something new, calming, i even can sleep so deeply when it rains, wet feet not a good thing, shower needed sometimes😂
Rain is refreshing for all the flowers, trees and greens, it wash all the dust and flowers can breath again💙 Steve, dont worry, x man soon, i will send you special boots for rain, dont cry😂what is your feet size?😂

Good morning Ilona! Afternoon for you! We had rain all night again.😕🌧 Yes, rain is a good thing but right now we need a bit of sunshine to help dry things out. A little too much rain for us. If this keeps up we won’t be able to enjoy the nice fall colors!🍁🍂 Every time I go outside now I get wet feet. Even my walking path, for several meters it is underwater, about 15 cm deep and there is no way to walk around it! 😲
You’re laughing at me again!😂😹
But it’s true, the rain is good for all the plants, although plants here are not growing anymore, just dying off for another year.😭 I hope you have a wonderful day Ilona, thanks for stopping by to read my little poem!😁😉😸
