Now how did Cryssa know this word fits perfectly? LOL InDEED.

Image (c) 2009, Karla Dorman


Freshet, noun:  an overflowing of a stream, as by heavy rains.

F inally, finally, a break in the rains that have
R ained themselves silly:  seventeen inches! 
ven the ducks need time to dry out their poor
S odden wings and webbed, wrinkled feet.
H ow dry I am?  Not very, puddles everywhere.
E nough.  More wet expected this upcoming week.
hank You, God, needed it.  For now, love the sun.
 
(c) 2009, Karla Dorman (10/9)

That old sunshine does look good after a wet, wet, rain, but I do enjoy those afternoon downpours that cool everything off. I like your innovative poetry--the way you created the title.

I KNEW you would love that word! hee, hee... You did well, my dear, very well...
