I was asked to write a nature-themed short poem for a 12 year old's poetry recital at school. Here it is:
So there is this thing,
This thing I want to do
Splash on a puddle
Drink a raindrop or two
Feel the damp earth beneath my feet
See the umbrellas on the street
The rains are here again
The rains are here again
Oh I just love it in the rain!
So there is this thing,
This thing I want to hear
Raindrops on a tin roof
Stopping on the window near
The smell of damp earth under my feet
Rainbow umbrellas on the street
The rains are here again
The rains are here again
Oh I just love it in the rain!
Joyful showers shared with friends
Hot cups of cocoa with my family
The rains are good to me
The rains are good to me.
So there is this thing,
This thing I want to do
Splash on a puddle
Drink a raindrop or two
Feel the damp earth beneath my feet
See the umbrellas on the street
The rains are here again
The rains are here again
Oh I just love it in the rain!
So there is this thing,
This thing I want to hear
Raindrops on a tin roof
Stopping on the window near
The smell of damp earth under my feet
Rainbow umbrellas on the street
The rains are here again
The rains are here again
Oh I just love it in the rain!
Joyful showers shared with friends
Hot cups of cocoa with my family
The rains are good to me
The rains are good to me.
