PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

For twelve days straight the rain has come

And I am going mad!

I’ve quite caught up on household chores,

Through rooms my bare feet pad.

My flower garden stands so tall,

That I am proud as punch.

But I need sun to pull the weeds

Now growing in a bunch.

I finished one new painting now,

And almost finished two.

But cabin fever gets me down,

I’m restless and I’m blue.

I’ve read three books.  The cable’s down.

No Internet for me.

When finally I post my work,

So many “new” I’ll see!

We need the rain.  Well water’s low,

But I just need some sun.

For one short hour I’ll soak it up,

Before again I run.

For twelve days straight the rain has come,

And I have had enough.

I’m ready for a little break.

These rainy days are rough.

There's only one thing they're good for,

I think you understand.

But goodness knows, I must be old,

Mud pies mess up my hands.
