My face turns toward the rain.
Drops plays on my skin, dribble
into my mouth, drum a steady
beat on my skin, and hang
beat on my skin, and hang
like crystals from my eyelashes.
My clothes are drenched, weighted.
Nearby dahlias dance in the shower.
Nearby dahlias dance in the shower.
There is no better remedy, nothing more
liberating, than the glorious rain
and me caught without an umbrella.

Oh Judy, I really love this poem! You express how I feel, and isn't it wonderful to be without an umbrella!
Diane would be tickled that her mantra and the metaphor it represents keeps coming back yo us, Judy.
Yes, I doubt that any of us will think of the word umbrella and not think of her.
Caught without an umbrella . . . and what a wonderful thing that can be. Delightful!
Judy- I have an award for you on my wordpress blog:
