It rained ALL DAY yesterday, thus the senryu,


been raining all day
get nekkid in puddles splash
carefree when it rains

Puddles convey joy
rain brings rejuvenation
blissful water dance



Ha, Jerry, this is inspiring. I love puddles.

The rain washes clean
all that fell between the folds
I am renewed!

Enjoyed your poem JP, inspired me too,
just like Margherita!

Hey! Hey! Hey! Ms. E, yep, I loved that rain yesterday. I felt sorry for my little mutt Zoe, because I wasn't able to walk her until late afternoon when a small break in the clod cover allowed us to make a hurried, but efficient stroll although it was still sprinkling on us. Thanks for stopping by.

I'm a sharing kinda guy, Karilea, but it's that Big Guy up dere who controls the weather. Or maybe it's that Bad Guy down dere. Heehee Thanks for chiming in at any rate.

Great poem Jerry Pat,
lovely picture,atmospheric words,very nice writing.
Sort of makes me think of that great Jose Feliciano song "Rain"
Thanks for the poem mate.
