Blessed With Rain The world is hushed by rain today. No sounds of children at their play. Only the whisper in the air, As gentle rain falls everywhere. The coolness is a welcome treat From many days of summer heat And with my windows open wide, I hear the nighttime world outside. A neighbor's dog, who thinks that he Must save us from catastrophe, By baying madly at the dark. A note of panic in his bark. Then when he stops and silence falls, It isn't long before the calls Of hunting owls drift eerily Across the woods, where every tree Festooned with beads of moisture, sheds, Refreshment on the forest beds. Tomorrow may be hot again, But for tonight, we're blessed with rain! Betty Lou Hebert Published by Chaparral News 1998 [This message has been edited by Trillium (05-24-2002 03:58 PM).] |

BettyLou~ 'The world is hushed by rain today. No sounds of children at their play. Only the whisper in the air, As gentle rain falls everywhere.'

Ah, Betty, this reads like a soft melody ...a requiem to rain.. A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails. |

what a nice description: >A neighbor's dog, who thinks that he Must save us from catastrophe, By baying madly at the dark. A note of panic in his bark. Then when he stops and silence falls, It isn't long before the calls Of hunting owls drift eerily Across the woods, where every tree Festooned with beads of moisture, sheds, Refreshment on the forest beds. Tomorrow may be hot again, But for tonight, we're blessed with rain! ---------------------------------- You're a good observer.  Though I don't rainy day, I like it in this poem.Eliza Simmons |
