In The Rain
I stood out in the rain today.
Wind-slashed rain.
Big drops and hazy rain,
Because I wanted to.
I stood out in the rain today.
On the pebble path,
Beside the birdbath.
Because I wanted to.
And I laughed out loud.
At the fun of it.
With the joy of it.
Like a child
Who still counts
The halves and the quarters.
“I’m ten and a quarter!”
“I’m seven and a half!”
Like a fifty-eight and three quarters kid
Laughing aloud in the rain.
Because,
I wanted to.

I wrote this four years ago. I thought about it today and decided to post it.
I hope you enjoyed my poem and photos.
Hugs from Pearl 😊
