Afternoon tomfoolery

What some curse can bless others

Rain wash over me 

serenade and sooth 

hypnotize 

now heavy eyes 

I'll not curse you 

cleanse me as you do the air 

I embrace the deluge symphony 

drips on my glasses and soaked to the bone 

"Do I want an umbrella?" someone asks 

"No" smiling I reply 

I will not be robbed of this sensory experience 

splash and stomp 

spin and twirl 

nothing like the smell of ozone fragrant air 

drenched I dance in new born pools 

afternoon tomfoolery 

tears lost in a multitude of drops.

Very cold in Michigan. No place for tomfoolery. Good to know some tomfoolery. I did enjoy the poetry Dave.
Hello from cold and wet Michigan. Thank you for sharing the amazing poetry.

As always you are welcome

this is a really sweet work, one that embraces aging but also the inner child. we have all played in the rain one time, and to go back to that carefree way is a dream unattainable to most. but the persona here has in his own way rediscovered the joy of living in the moment - come rain or shine.

Ern I am always glad to hear from you, I have kind of been in a funk and the writting has slowed, thank you for the reveiw.

In raindrops, many emotions of the heart are hidden. ' cleanse me as you do the air. ' There's so much truth in this statement. Tears can certainly do that. My best to you, Dave.
