Even in rain
blooms lean to light
even in rain
sing sun an ovation
even in rain
grasp glory
glory even
even in rain.

Lovely, we’ve had a lot of rain lately and yes, the flowers bloom 🙂

Three weeks of hot (for the North of England) sun and everything feels lovely. Three days of steady rain and everything is greener, sweeter, refreshed and smelling like tomorrow.

I do love rain. I honestly do. But I only REALLY love rain when the sun has me desiccating and I gasp for relief. That.

For all this rain, at least the grass and flowers are happy.

My garden looks the best it has ever looked – almost like they’re growing in a rainforest!

Your poem insists on the silver lining even when summer refuses to shine. I like it! We had one of those summers this year – it didn’t stop raining until; autumn………… But then we had a lovely summery autumn and so fa a fairly benign winter so I guess it’s just the seasons shifting………

I guess the weather in NZ took the slow boat to Ottawa because summer has yet to arrive.

Someday I will attempt to write poetry, but I fear I’ll end up writing sentences and paragraphs and using punctuation and grammar and other non-poemy stuff. I just don’t know how to open up a vein of emotional effluvia and allow myself to bleed out. So you see, novelists have fears, too. 😉

Gosh, I’m looking at my poemy stuff and wondering if I have any blood left at all! If you wrote a poem in sentence with punctuation and stuff you’d have a prose poem!

Thank you, Derrick. All I’d really like is a sunny day. You know that expression “Save it for a rainy day?” Well we’ve had so much rain since the beginning of May that all my savings are gone!

If all this rain were snow my husband would be a happy man. Rivers haven’t gone down since the spring melt in April from the barrage of rain. On the up side, the garden, despite the lack of sun is thriving.
