Resounding Pellets
Beading up hitting windows
The storm rages on
From my youthful eyes
Five steps down red brick sidewalk
Freedom is waiting
A nuisance puddle
For travelers of the day
Cars moving so slow
The echos of pleas
Badgering my mom please please
Let us go outside
A pond of water
To Nellie Albatelley's
Clear across two roads
Finally a yes
Finding appropriate clothing
Without causing fuss
Bare feet and raincoat
Head soaked wading cold water
Presence of laughter
Chattering blue lips
surrendering to chilled bones
Thirty minutes in
Tossing aside clothes
Wrapped securely in blankets
Sharing body heat
Robbed of energy
Eyes closing unwillingly
Afternoon nap time
Cascade windswept rain
Torrential downpour falling
Rain on Eustis street
