Thinking back....
I am waiting for the school bus
in front of Mason's store.
It is raining again,
like yesterday and the day before.
No thunder or lightening
just quiet, gentle rain
soaking my mind
with watercolor memories,
impressions undefined,
of soft rain and umbrellas
and the dense, damp forest
viewed through a veil of time.

Ida Werrett

Very well rendered atmosphere, I could feel it, dear Ida.

Love,

Ida, dear, I have a similar recollection and you have brought it all back to me with your watercolour ink.

I do so enjoy your poetry!

Loving hug and a knowing smile,

Linda
