Rain.......

*
R A I N
whose soft
architectural hands
have power
to cut stones,
and chisel to shapes
of grandeur
the very mountains

Henry Ward Beecher

The best kind of RAIN
of course
is a COZY RAIN.
This is the kind
the anonymous medieval POET
makes me remember
the rain
that falls
on a day
when you'd just as soon
STAY IN BED
a little longer
WRITE LETTERS
or read a good book
by the fire
TAKE early tea
with HOT scones and JAM
and
look out the streaked windows
WITH COMPLACENCY

Susan Allen Toth
