Light rain
You lie down to rest close blinds to darken the room but still light leaks in Puddles on cheeks of closed eyes pull a sheet over your head protection from light rain 7-22-20

Drifting cloud condenses to rain Rain lives but for a minute Sacrificed to water on ground 7-1-20

Porch rain
Hot summer day late afternoon rain water flows in street Thunder overhead somewhere a tree is cleaved to ground No matter, how cool you try to be, a flash and crack makes you jump You steal yourself for the next one and hope it doesn’t strike too close 6-30-20

Let it rain
Rain fell all night white noise for sleeping morning comes robed in rain Warm porch tea undaunted, birds sing lone dog walker in rain gear Park employees gather in ball field parking lot sip coffee in trucks until lunch break A manuscript and three new magazines forecast calls for precipitation – let it rain 6-25-20
