Not singing
Dancing
Yet even walking
In the rain
Is good

So long
As it’s something
You only do

By choice

It's nice thoughts and very enjoyable to read, I like the rain and sometimes too choose to walk when it is raining...
I love your short poems...

I love this and understand exactly what you mean.  

However, sometimes one can enjoy something that one hasn't done by choice.  I remember a quote I read a long time ago, but I forget who said it, "The really happy man enjoys the view when he has to make a detour" or words to that effect.
