The rain is such
A drought the
little girl says
and other oxymorons.
The bitter dryness
and seclusion of
being indoors – a
cause by the rain
(a metaphor among
the silence).
The rain is a drought
her father says like
love is a red rose
he eyes her mother –
conversely, rain is
an exquisite sunshine
she interjected –
how do you say
says the little girl.
How can you hate
the rain, her mother
jokes, when you love
all the flowers she says.
I told you love is a red
Rose laughs
the father….
Conversely says the daughter
rain is love.
