Rain

Ronald Maynard

Blank verse
Rain, beautiful rain,
Sent by God,
The maker of everything,

Grass is fed,
Garden is revitalized,
Wonderful  rain

Sun coming out now,
Yet, for a while,
The rain showers were
There,

Don't know anyone who
Does not enjoy the rain,
The sun is nice too,
Both necessary for life
On this planet we call
Home.

About this poem

The rain cuts through the humidity. I live in Arkansas in a trailer home. So it is always refreshing to see the rain.
