Listening to rain

While reading poetry.

But why read poetry

When there is rain?

For there is poetry

In the rain.

Reading Clare

While listening to rain.

But why read Clare

For there

Is poetry in rain?

 

(The above is 2 versions of the same, maybe similar poem. The poem flows from me listening to the rain through my open bedroom window yesterday evening, while reading the poetry of John Clare).
