An Ode to Rain

An Ode to Rain

 

 

a rainy day

good for a pot of chili

for oversized sweaters

and jeans stressed out

at the knees

 

a good day

for slouchy socks

and turner classic movies,

the film noirs in black and white

of Bogart

and Orson Welles,

the femme fatales

 

a rainy day

custom made

for sleeping in

reading poetry by Wordsworth

and Ezra Pound

 

getting lost within

the cerulean blue

 

of eyes

of you…
