the sky is grey

 

and blue

 

and loud

 

pitter patter of rain

 

on the sidewalk

 

the front lawn

 

my hair

 

really

 

i've already washed it today

The author's comments:

I suppose a rather petty thing to be annoyed at, but let's all celebrate our feelings, no matter how ridiculous they may seem.

 

Oh, and it rains here a lot, so let's celebrate weather, too.

It's such an annoying yet joyous feeling. . . Wish I got as much rain here too.

Are you in a dry place? It's very wet where I am and it rains quite often. In fact, it rained just this afternoon *shakes out hair*

Thank you, Doctor Muppet. (Muppet bug?) I'm in a very rainy area, so this is a constant first world problem for me. Either way, it's worth it if I can make people laugh.

Eh, it literally "rains" only twice a year where I'm at. Mostly it sprinkles very lightly occasionally, but we get two monsoons, one in the spring and one in the fall. Anyway, I really liked the ending--I laughed too :) Nice poem!

Mine is also that way, thick and curly and very angry when wet. It puffs up terribly, which means I have to carry my trusty umbrella everywhere. I'm glad I made you smile, though.

I agree with @BreeZephyr it's very simple but so relatable. The ending was funny, I admit I chuckled a bit. That personification of the sky was so true!... "the sky is grey and blue and loud"... :)

Ha, ha, yeah, rain tends to be a nuisance for me; my hair is very thick and curly and likes to shrink up and tangle when wet. So yeah, I can relate. Your poem made me laugh, and I loved the simplistic nature of it. Nice work!
