Cornucopia: Rainy Day

A Rainy Day

By Kate Chamberlin

The rain splats across the window,

Thunder rumbles ominous and low.

Pull the covers back up to your chin,

It will be a good day to stay in.

The plip plopping of a rain drop

Cascading from flower anther to leaf top,

Is like the lively volley of the tennis game

That will be postponed -what a shame.

Fill your mug with tea and cream,

Enter a realm of thought and dream.

Reach for the long forgotten book,

Curl up in a warm, cozy nook.
