Chants of Rain

the rain restores

what lightning strikes

so let it pour

let mighty Thor

his hammer smite

the rain restores

a battered shore

-with rising tide-

so let it pour

thus all that’s torn

and wrecked revives

the rain restores

and heals dolour

and eases mind

the rain restores

so let it pour.

  we are > < to drought conditions here in Cally, so I think we are good on that front. It rained all weekend, though, so yay.

  Yeah, saw the rain in TV. Worst drought for 500 years they said, and then a plap of rain just for the Oscars

  hehe–eff those gladhanders. It isn’t as if they don’t have enough back-patting shows for themselves, on top of making a bajillion dollars.

  thanks, MiMi. I really enjoy trying my hand at villanelles, now & again. Almost like (rain on a) paned glass, it’s continuous, yet separate.
