After the Rain

Ten drops of rain remain on my window.
Each reflecting a world I cannot see.
Tiny details of life, now refracted
warped, then twisted and turned to fit the curves.

I think I spot the daffodils in bloom,
flavescent yellow under bluing skies.
My daughter's red wagon, wheels distorted.
A silver maple, begining to bloom.

Spring designs stencils for Summer to fill.
Painting them, first with rain, then with color.

  1. My..the 'ten' drops hit hard..like as a child when you hide away and race rain drops..or when you cry..I am glad your daughter's little red wagon is in view..I am glad colour is coming..Jae

  2. Thanks Jae. I was writing a 10 line, 10 syllable per line, poem so I thought I would put 10 drops of rain in it.
