More rain, but I'm dry

It rained again this morning. It is needed. The forests are parched and fires threaten. Let it rain, cuz I'm in a good mood.

I got to the bus on time and sat down amid the damp and steaming masses on their early morning commute. I looked up and was treated to Poetry on the Go, a public transit thing. Poetry rather than those godawful ads... how wonderful! As a poet myself, I appreciate how wonderful it is that poets have one more way to reach the public.

I've seen similar things on many buses across the country, but this one poem was really perfect for this morning and it made me smile. A simple, eight line rhyme about the wind. I'm still all tingly about it. It opened the floodgate of my imagination and I've been drifting around in it all day. Lovely. What a great way to start a day!

So kudos to you, gentle creators of Poetry on the Go... I salute your brilliant idea that has so many times made me smile, but today, has made me happy.

Now if only they'll change internet advertising to poetry... one can wish! *smile*
