If love was rain – 68 words

If love was rain

 

Check the forecast. Again.

Unseasonably damp or drought?

Incantation for precipitation.

You know -green shoots, petrichor, yada.

Stand barefoot, gasping and drenched – torrentially triumphant.

Drinking it deep until – there’s floods, cancellations.

Driving drizzle and damn – now the roof leaks.

Drips icy down your neck – sodden, rotten and damp.

Dismal damp everywhere – regret the lack of bucket…
