Poetry Friday

Last week, I was intrigued by Diane Mayr's part II description of the Massachusett's Poetry Festival she attended on her blog, Random Noodling. The writing prompt given to her from the flower stall called to a love poem in me I didn't even know was there. 

Thanks, Diane. 

And, thanks to Buffy Silverman for hosting Poetry Friday this week on Buffy's Blog



After the Rain, it all Looked Different


We kissed, that first time. Remember?  After
the storm burst--me laughing at  the

sight of you slip-sliding in the rain.

Thunder chased us.  It

was you, glistening with August raindrops, my all

became your summer soaked face that looked

like love, and since then, I've never known different.

  10. Beautiful! So beautiful. I too have recently written my first golden shovel - so already felt a fascination and affinity - but your words... I love how connected and perfectly linked it is, to that borrowed line.

  12. This is gorgeous! You've taken kissing in the rain to new heights. I wonder if this is the beginning of a short story?
