Hi Yvonne. A wonderful poem that I enjoyed reading. Nicely composed and illustrated with good rhyme. I like walking in the rain. I prefer to use an umbrella myself, but usually don't have one with me at the time. Marilyn

Nice weird. Lots of people like to walk in the rain, especially warm summer rains.

OH wow a wonderful triquatrain poem, a new one for me, that does what I love to read, the internal rhyming that makes the sing/song rhythm to the lines. That's the way I love the water

Thank you. I feel we're kindred souls about many things.

Okay, I'm gonna confess here, your melodic offering really reminds me just how much I love being in the rain... a summer rain and the smells it carries just seems cathartic in many ways - a cleansing inside and out!! :) ;) The ONLY thing I don't like about it walking inside afterwards soaking wet...LOL! :) We could write a fun little poem about stripping before you walk in the house - wink, wink!! :) ;) Thanx for sharing such a gentle and bright reminder! :) Yvette

Thank you so much for this. You have described exactly how I feel in rain. I once wrote a piece about doing my rain dance in the front yard - naked. Fiction, of course. hahahaha
Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written triquatrain about not using an umbrella when ithe rains it is more pleasant to dance in the rain without it and we get a free shower from nature.

Thank you, Sandra. A free shower from nature is a great way to put it.
Comment from Rachelle Allen
You had me at "bumbershoot," which I've always felt is the best word of all time!
What a FANTASTIC triquatrain this is! Your cadence just FLOWS - absolute perfection!- and none of your rhymes have that square-peg-in-a-round hole kind of feel to them. It's all natural and excellent!
And then, of course, there's the delightful message you bestowed! So full of joy!
I absolutely love this poem! OUTSTANDING job! xo

Wow! Thank you for such a fantastic review. I'm so glad you like it. It was fun to write. I use 'bumbershoot' all the time. I like to tease my sons with words my grandmother used that are no longer in use.

You answered the potlatch post well. This shows the way rain can make you feel clean and refreshed. Why use an umbrella. Good choice of artwork.

Comment from Pantygynt
This is a very well put together triquateain. I have not come across it as a named form before but I approve as I am fond of internal rhyme. Very well done with 'bumbershoot'. I like to see good research like this properly explained in the notes. When I saw the word I thought at first that one of Lewis Carrol's monsters had escaped drone Jabberwocky and found it's way into you triquatrain.

Hahaha. Thank you, Jim, for the wonderful review. I would have thought you knew what a bumbershoot is (a brolly). I like to use words my grandmother used that no one says much anymore. Teach these young whippersnappers something new. hahaha. I'm so proud of your comments. They have made my day!

A petite senior heading into the diner last March almost got a free paragliding lesson that bowed the struts in her bumbershoot....yeah, a shower in the face is great when the temp nears a hundred....excellent triquatrain....

Thank you. See, that's exactly why I don't like to use one. It turns into a wrestling match for me.
Comment from Gloria ....
Ha, well this is quite delightful Yvonne. I'm with you on umbrellas too, because those things can be more trouble than protection.
Superb metre and rhyme and even more importantly a most creative thought process.
Enjoyed muchly.

Thank you, Gloria. What a lovely thing to say. Yes, I've had enough of wrestling with the darn things.
