Perseverance


The rain bounces 
off the hood of my black raincoat.
Pop,pip,pip,pip,pop-
Memories of dad's popcorn ricochet inside my head.

Pepper ruefully regards the rivulets of rain 
pouring off her shiny black coat.


In our slick black coats-
Wet paws-
Wet booted feet-

We 
sidestep
trampoline puddles filled with jumping raindrops.

    Aaaaaaaw, poor Pepper! She doesn't look too happy about the rain! Nice poem, though!

    I like your description of your walk in the rain, but I think Pepper is ready to get inside.

    It's raining here today and I am talking myself into going out to run two errands. I admire your fortitude in bad weather. Me? I'm a fairweather traveler.
