    Summer Rain
    rain gently kisses
    your face
    as we run
    for cover
    under a big willow
    shaking the rain
    from our hair
    we laugh
    eyes meeting 
    you smile
    picking  a leaf
    from my shirt
    so sweet you are to me
    the ground is dry
    and we sit
    holding each other
    to keep away the chill
    I smell the honeysuckle
    tucked behind your ear
    with a  sigh
    so content
    in this moment
    caught in a summer rain
    with you

    This is one of the reasons we write poetry, to capture memories and share them with others. I feel like I am there with you when I read this. Now I have to go, but I'll be back to read more. Oh, and I rarely rate poems. It's like trying to grade someone's feelings, their heart and soul. And where did you get that picture? It looks like the shiller in a labradorite stone. Very pretty.

    Thank you so much for the kind words. The photo is a rainbow in my kitchen.

    A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
