Oh lovely rain
So nice to see you again
Such a lovely thing
The life your water brings
Sipping my warm brew
I am soothed by the sound of you
The patter of your drops
Rattling on roads and rooftops
I take in your smell
Craving another rainy spell
They say petrichor
Is Spring’s best messenger
The crack of thunder
I’m thankful for the roof I’m under
A flash of lightning
Stress in my chest un-tightening
All day I stayed inside
I sigh as the storm now subsides
My day well spent
Indulging in your heavenly scent
My heart flops
Listening to fading raindrops
I’ll miss you so
I’m sad to see you go
I wish you well
Till the drops begin to fell
Untill next time,
I leave you with these rainy rhymes

Letter to our Queer & Trans Youth
Hey, you. I thought I’d start this letter by telling you a little about myself, just so you know who you’re dealing with. I’m an emotional dad, father to three amazing kids who we met through the foster care system, and whose presence in our lives has really transformed my sense of responsibility to the communities that surround us. The connections we’ve made with one another, with our extended families, and with the communities where we live and look for belonging have catapulted us into this whirlwind of emotional tumult which, while not easy by any stretch of the measure, has also been remarkably healing. I realize ours is really only a one-sided chosen family, since our kids didn’t get to choose to live here, but I’d like to think that they did choose to let us love them, which allowed them to grow to love us. And I think that’s where I want to go with this letter- to a place where you can find belonging and healing- even if the pathway there may be peppered with some emotional tumult.

Hi Donna… I’m back to let you know that I couldn’t resist including this sweet smelling poem in my latest Angie’s Artifacts story.😃 https://vocal.media/writers/angie-s-artefacts-iii
You took me to that rainy day in all of its pleasantness, a lovely poem 😊
Delightful ✅🤩 I love rain & storms etc & you captured that feeling well! ‘The crack of thunder I’m thankful for the roof I’m under A flash of lightning Stress in my chest un-tightening.’ We don’t get enough of it lately 🥺.
I love this and the rain very much!
As long as there's a roof over your head and you can watch the storm outa the window :-)
☺️👍 🌧 Nice rainy rhymes Donna aka HKB! 😊
This was so nice and cosy! So calm and relaxing. So beautifully rhymed as well. You are so freaking brilliant D! I loved your poem so much! 🥰🥰🥰
I love walking in the rain...if its just drizzling. But a sunny day is the best kind of day for me too. Hey D. Enjoy the rain.
I think my perfect day would be a sunny morning outdoors, and a stormy afternoon in.
I love the sound of the rain. It's so relaxing. GREAT poem.
