Rain dance Yesterday, as we watched a thousand silver darts hurled themselves out of the water today, my eyes droop as I sit listening to the rain dance on the roof an occasional loon, and the ever-present surf Huddled around the fireplace the fire dispels some of the dampness and chill last night there were fireworks on the beach to match the erotic explosions of the afternoon The rain now insistent on the cottage roof thinking of the cats at home and wondering idly about the rest of the world the dog snuggled up beside me And I, all wrapped in an afghan watching the rain and listening to it bounce off the roof as the rest of the world swirls on quite well without me Janet Bellinger August, 2004

Rain is to the fore in the Den today, and your introspective poem is also in this current vein, Janet
I love going for walks in the rain, feeling the refreshing and resurgent effect of the energising rain on my skin

�Rain dance� is a poem that would make Minerva congratulate Erato, and would make Phoebus proud to oversee and patronize the Poets.

I salute You, Poet!
