~Raining Cats And Dogs~

Rainclouds overhead
Arizona monsoon approaches
Impatiently I wait...
Ninety-five degrees outside
Ice cream would be nice
Note to self-
Get some mint 'n chip


Clap of thunder
At last!
Tiny raindrops fall
Storm is underway

Awesome lightning strikes
Narrated by thunderous song
Deafening serenade

Dare I dance in the rain?
Opalescent moon appears
Grins at me...and I
Soaking wet...smile back

Vicky~
How adorably done !
Why ... I believe this is your first acrostic~
Aren't you just the cleverest little thang ?

*Rain chants will get the job done everytime !

You keep the cats ... I'll take the dogs~

Yummmmmmy on the ice cream ...
Make mine strawberry !
Love ya'

Very nicely written, vicky...and, ahh, yes, rain...beautiful thing...I could do without the thunder and lightning, though...I enjoyed this...oh yeah, and mint chip rules, too!!

it was love that first drew me,
it is love that will keep me here...
now I see love burning brightly
when everything else is unclear...

Wonderful how you weave a poem
Out of Mother Nature's act
Only you could do it so
Fantastically and that's a fact!

Write on, my fair weather friend
Of wind and rain and passion's storms
Optimistically I wait
For the day I feel your charms....

Yeah!!! some of my favorite things... dancing in the rain. But, I can do without the thunder.   I lost my pc last week due to lightening. I like the intricate way you penned this great write.
