Rain, rain, go away

Blackest night
Mosquitoes hide in doorways
Anxiously seeking entry
Quick, close the door

Trees begin to emerge in the glow of day's light
Dawn's beacon slowly creeps
Horizon's hope that day springs eternal
Rain does a tap dance on the roof
Nature's percussion serenades
Kids play tent with towels
Spoons tap cereal bowls
Rhythm in the music of their laughter

Parents hug their morning coffee
First we play cards
Go Fish for the young ones
Rummy for the older ones
Later we will play Sorry
Not sorry at all
Picnics on a blanket
Spread across wood floors
Fun, family, fellowship
This is the romance of cottage life
