Posting everyday is proving to be quite difficult especially with sports so I will try to post a poem probably once a week. I will not do it everyday.

Rain on the windshield The swish swish swish of the wipers
The dark cloudy sky
Drops race down the window
You watch them fall, silently rooting for one of them to win.
That’s why I love the rain.

Back at the house, rain bounces off the roof
You grab your yellow raincoat and rain boots
Open the door, and wind rushes through your hair.
You jump outside with an assortment of puddles
Raindrops splashing, bouncing back up. That’s why I love the rain.

It may be cold.
It may be wet.
Sunshine is good but when a big shower comes
You can bet I’ll be watching raindrops,
Jumping in puddles
And most of all, loving the rain.

This poem was inspired by The Red Wheelbarrow by William Carlos Williams.

So much depends
upon

that old worn
welcome-mat

trampled by hundreds
of shoes

beckoning for you
to enter.

April is National Poetry Writing Month. In my creative writing class, we will be writing a poem everyday for the entirety of April. This blog will be focused on poetry and I will try to post everyday for NaPoWriMo. Happy Poetry Month!
