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.

Ahh, meanwhile, I wish we got less rain... Well, I'm glad you enjoyed this, either way >////

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!

Thank you, SerendipitousWonderland. That's simply how the sky feels out here in Poetry Land.

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!
