I will catch the raindrops
enclose them in my palms
and dance round and round in circles
with my outstretched arms.
I will taste the raindrops
roll them with my tongue
let them trickle down my skin
then make pools on the ground.
I will touch the raindrops
hanging from the boughs
and free the little sunbeams
trapped in the crystalline claws.
Then I will watch the sunshine
once more lighting up the sky
and behold the colorful rainbow
embracing me from up high.

MY WALL 
oh i like the playfulness in this…the catching and tasting them and my absolute fav part was the freeing the little sunbeams
trapped in the crystalline claws…what a great visual
big smiles…this is the rain i love….the refreshing that calls you with its music to dance with abandon….love the very positive nature of your verse….and when the sun comes i will rejoice all the more…smiles.
Oooh-I wish I’d written that line about freeing those little trapped sunbeams. Just exquisite!
That 3rd stanza took my breath away… what a beutiful thought. and raindrops are so poetic… (but often less so in reality)
Ah, all’s well in your world if it is like this.
Delicate poem with an uplifting theme.
How beautiful Imelda…Diane

Thank you, Hank. Happy Monday. 🙂
what a beautiful idead to ‘roll raindrops with the tongue’ – i wonder what they would feel like… also loved freeing the trapped sunbeams… such playfulness in this – the beauty radiates.
“…I will taste the raindrops
roll them with my tongue
let them trickle down my skin…”

The opening stanza really was beautiful..enjoyed the poem so refreshing within the raindrops..
Thanks, Truedessa. -) Happy Monday.
I read this and need to hear Chopin – Ballade No. 1 (Argerich) ~ beautiful !
Thanks, Debbie. And thanks for the heads up on that piece of music – I love it. I have to listen to Argerich’s version yet though. I listened to Zimerman’s version. In any case, I am glad to be introduced to both artists.
You put me in a Chopin mood. Here is my absolutest favorite – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mpiJbQvBP8A
Lovely poem, Imelda. 🙂
And I want to do it with you:)
You definitely expressed the beauty of rain.
This is beautiful! This poem reminds me of how a child embraces the rain.
