SURPRISE RAIN

Posted on March 10, 2024 by | 3 Comments 

Mud from head to toe
before the bus to school,
how could I know

I’d never bring it home—
never be the hero
of black and white westerns.

But a lifetime chasing rainbows
has been enough
without the pot of gold.

      So good to hear from you and your happy tears. Spring is becoming more colorful everyday,
      wildflowers beginning to claim the green like spilt paint.
