Dancing In The Rain. Poem by Sallie Howson
Dancing In The Rain.
Knock, knock
On the window.
Two fat raindrops
Calling me out.
Bang, bang, bang
Reinforcements arrive.
“Come out and play.”
Coffee
Tries to pull me back
To the accounts
Waiting to be balanced
On the side of my desk.
I open the door
And the sky
Flashes its greeting
The battle is won
And out I go.
One step
And the rain pats
My bare shoulders.
Beautiful.
Another step
And I sigh
Raising my face
To receive
The same caress.
Each drop
Washes another worry
Away.
Arms outstretched
Music starts to play
In my head
And my feet
Start to dance.
My clothes
Weigh me down
Clinging to my legs.
Off they come.
Liberation!
Lightning
Spotlights my ever more
Frenetic moves.
Thunder
Shouts in applause.
Crash, bang, crash,
Flash and boom.
The crescendo finally climaxes
And I leap into the lake.
Black envelopes me.
I allow myself to sink.
For a second enjoying death.
Lightning calls me back
And I burst to the surface again
Joyous to be alive.
Wonderfully, exquisitely
Alive.
Sallie I can get like that after a few brown ales. A night in the cells usually cools my ardour.Nice write though and entertaining too.Thanks for that! ! Sid John x
Nice one, Sallie. Very sensuous. And sensual. Don't want a night in the cells nor to have MY ardour cooled..... Love, Fran xxx
...dancing in the rain, with my pants off I'm dancing in the rain. D-lightful!
I Love Your Poem and Your Poetry as a whole. You have talent, a singular and unique voice, and a heart that seeks for adventure and truth and sometimes suffers for it! 10
A freedom of dance and nature touched by the spirit of Isadora Duncan...loved it 10
What a beautiful and spontaneous poem Sallie. I really enjoyed it and read it to my family sitting by fireplace in my living room while it was about to rain outside.
