In a bun dance

If I'm going to get something, I usually get it in spades - luck (both kinds), children, clutter, dirty laundry, bright ideas, daft ideas...

Downpour

 

What I love about rain is its sheer bloody toldyousoness

its smell, of course

the plash, pitter and plop

its ’bow

a smug waterproof coat

strangers talking

kaboom, flash thunder storm

dry firesides

wellington boots with fleecy linings

its stopped play

lushy swishy grass

clouds smearing the overthere hills

a single bulging orb on a rose petal

or the sizzle splat on a midsummer patio

and a ‘did you feel that too?’

    Enjoying this/these!! Very much, just stumbled cross them today via Jeannie Mackenzie. Not to match yours, I have a wee ‘time filler’ that I’m developing, my own wee cluster of poems, if you can be bothered see web link below. For interest!
    Power to your pen!
