Tuesdays with Nikki (#19)


It is a cold and rainy day in my neck of the woods. I am NOT a fan of the rain. I hate to drive in it... I hate to walk in it... I hate to be in it PERIOD! But since I know nothing grows without a little rain, I am thankful that GOD sees fit to let it fall. This short poem by Ms Nikki G states exactly how I want to spend a rainy day....


Rain

rain is
god's sperm falling
in the receptive
woman how else
to spend
a rainy day
other than with you
seeking sun and stars
and heavenly bodies
how else to spend
a rainy day
other than with you
