It’s Raining Buckets
Virginia Salter

It's raining buckets
literally
I really have to say
well, bucket,
is more accurate
if truth I would convey

There in the gutter
by the road
a two-gallon white
does lie
swallowing to
its middle ground
H two O in tie

Floating leaves
and sunk debris
colorfies its charm
running here
flowing there
causing some alarm

Will those conveyances
that go racing by
splash these goods
upon my walk
and render mud in eye?

Wetter, wetter
do I grow
as rain comes in on wind
when will the cats and dogs
show up?
And when will I grow fins?

Thanks, you two!  I didn't have a lot of fun getting inspired to write this, but I had a great deal of fun writing it.  You two have helped me relive that fun and add to it as well!  Thanky!
