In Conversation by Candace Meredith

 

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.
