The Arrival Of An Awaited April Shower
A poem about April’s weather meant to break the rut I was stuck in. Posted this last week on my blog site and didn’t get around to doing so here sooner because I’ve been keeping pretty busy.

The Arrival Of An Awaited April Shower
By: A.X. Bueno
The rain comes down in April
Or so they say
And yet despite multiple predictions
It didn’t come until today
It’s been a fairly dry April
All things considered
I was worried the plants were going to wither
But they haven’t as relief came
In the form of the long expected rain
It wasn’t a lot but it was enough
To help things get by
I can’t help but wonder how it took so long to come
And I can’t think of the reason why
I’m sure there is one to explain
Why lately it’s been so dry
I’m relieved to have at least gotten some rain though
To at last see one of the weather predictions come true
It’s good for plenty of things after all
Maybe with a little rain it’ll be easier to get through
