I was requested
To write a rhyme about rain
By a soldier man who lives
Almost in a lake
I thought of rain
Again and again
In time,
A rain rhyme came
From me to you,
Mr. Hill
Who lives
In 'The Lakes'
Rain rain go away
Come again
Some other day
Today I want to play
Rain rain go away
But not for long
Or I’ll complain
Stay around
I’ll want you when
My grass is brown
Rain rain stay around
My kayak doesn’t work well
On the ground
Rain rain
Once in a while
I will delight
When my feet are warm and dry
By the firelight
I will watch you through
My windowpane
In ease
As you paint
Your Three D
Masterpiece
O essential element
Presenter of presents
Why do we lament
So much
Your ever-present presence

Rain has always been a principal topic of conversation here in the UK, especially in The Lakes District. A friend said to me the other day, "Why don't you write a poem about rain?" I don't usually write about non-abstract, or non-philosophical issues but I decided to try....Dedicated to Mr Tony Hill, a friend a musician and a true outdoorsman and adventurer.
