178th Weekly Poetry Contest winner: A Trillion Raindrops

by Rie Sheridan Rose

 
The rain pours
Sliding silver shimmers
Falling lace curtains
 
Inside I dream
Wineglass in hand
Sipping sweet sherry
 
Soft summer symphony
smell of green
like scattered thoughts
 
Soaking the dryads
Dancing with abandon
in soft silks
 
Molded to skin
The rain pours
an oceanic purr
 
I see them
through the window
and I smile
 
Masking secret thoughts
from mundane men
smug and superior
 
Who see nothing
But lifeless water
Not shining grace
 
The dryads dance
Inside I dream
The rain pours...

(appears in the Take Out from the Writer's Cafe chapbook)
