Rain Play revised10/1/07

Why such sighs my little ones

Not the rain outside

You think it spoils all your fun

Because the sun won't shine?

Come let's go out and see

God watering his world

Rain drops fine as crystals

Earth blooms with sweet perfume

Don't you love the Shade

that Great Oak gives to you

While you sit on dew kissed grass

with the day Lillie's all in bloom

Let's Watch the pretty patterns

that dance Upon the window pane

While listening to the wind chimes

that they Music for us play

Let's hope it fills our buckets

then we later in them can play

Some times we get lightning light shows

And thundering drummers when it rains

Lovely poem.

Suggestion: be more specific about the great green tree: what kind of tree should we visualize? A beech? And the flowers? What kinds are we looking at? It really helps draw the picture when we can see the details.

(spelling: won't, musically, let's, nature's)

Alison love your help! this just rolled out of my head tonight after my great grand nephew complained of being stuck inside in Fl.I feel I might try and expand on it and the grammar ..I am studying !old habits die hard! but I picked up a copy of Grammar Report by Mark Shaw.and I plan on spending at least an hour a day studying it.I do realize it is problematic. I am serious about my poetry,and prose so I will be one of the old dogs that can learn new tricks l.o.l.

Dena,Rita and Sue thanks glad you enjoyed this one!

We could use some here in Montana to put these fires out, hold the lightning, they are what causes our fires.

I miss the rainy nights of spring :(
