"rain on cobblestone" a Sonnet #31

Steven Louis Chapman

Melt on thy love melt away,
wash down the trickled sway,
of cobblestone streets seen,
hail the saint New Orleans.

Wash on thy soul love gold,
buckets of her have sold,
fall on the treasure laid,
hatch from her golden egg.

Rain on cobblestone plays,
from his trumpet she sways,
from our hearts Louis shares,
triple notes without care.

Showering all that jazz,
upon her taste of class.
