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**

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
