I am looking through my rain painted windows

Waterlogged drowned gutters run

with rainbow coloured bubbles

Rain, when pouring, dancing to its own tune

Children finding the best puddles to make a big splash

Returning home to drip rain indoors

Red cheeks, happy faces

Safe in front of warm fires

Snug under cosy blankets

The deluge continues as you gaze

through your kitchen window

The heavens open, turning your garden pond

Into a tidal wave

Gold carp dancing in water lifted

Spinning lights flashing

Golden doubloons dropping

A big splash, smooth water once more

Cup of hot chocolate calling…
