Flooded

Torrential Rains in Costa Rica

 

 

he said the rain was non-stop

days of torrential downpours

flooding the city and...

instant visions of a drenched jungle setting

flooded my mind like the rain

flooded the streets

I envisioned tropical leaves

heavy wet

with water slipping off to land

on sodden earth

I thought the flooded world

seemed remarkable and dreamed

of how I'd love to be in the midst of it

in a secluded cottage with the rain

falling all around me

having no reason to walk outside

unless my body

longed

to be flooded

like the city and my mind

Too much rain is better-tolerated when you're inside and dry, so I've found. I spent some time in south-east asia during monsoon, si I know what you mean. A good poem, Gatlianne.
