Painting the Rain

Colors upon the raindrops

the arc of the morning

a little splashing upon us

brushes flowing

A little rain wasn’t going to stop us;

No, we were there to scrape,

to prime the house, ready

to help out, make it great.

Laughing as the rain ran off the roof

and down my back,

holding the ladder, an anchor,

for the scraping above me

even spiders found places out of the storm

But we were undaunted, for a time,

and kept painting the rain

until the showers became

ever more serious
