Sometimes I wish the rain
Would not cease.
It quiets my heated brain.
But the rain
Will cease. And I yearn for the peace
Of the steady drip, drip, drip of rain
To return again
And cool my heated brain.
Sometimes I Wish the Rain

Certainties
I duck as I go
For the wind has bent a bough low
And toppled a street sign.
A winter breeze makes random patterns with leaves.
The wind has no time
For our certainties and lines.
The Man and the Goat
There once was a man with a goat
Who went and wrote a very important note.
But the goat said, “I’m starving.
I will pay you 1 farthing!”.
So he did, and he ate that note!
