~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 ~vlraynes "...until you have read the verse on his |

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' ~*Me*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

Gee Vicky, when I was there it either rained gila monsters and dust bunnys, or tigers and great danes! You swelter or you drown---I loved it and I miss it! Thanks for reminding me. VERY nice poem. |
