I rise in dawns early light
And I hear it,
I hear the rain coming down,
The rain falling from the grey sky
Bring water to our land.
It gets louder as more rain comes,
Then quieter as it eases,
Eases into drizzle,
But does not stop.
This means so much
As the dry earth can be renewed,
But to me it means so much,
So much more.
As if it keeps raining,
There will be no croquet,
No croquet today!

Indoor bowls. Or curling. Problem solved
Done both but not like my drug of choice - croquet.

Good write Gold.
I was about and about. I took me coat off even, first thing, then put it on again for the rain, passing the deserted croquet club. Doh!
Thanks Orchi
look on the bright side, there's always tomorrow and anyway, you never got hit by a meteorite write ........ N 🙂
So true Neville, tomorrow will be wonderful.

ok so, that video was just
frivolity, defined
loved that carefree spirit
lol
although I'm glad it was only 3 mins or else
that incessant drumbeat
would have done my head in..
and that poor girl in the far right corner..
thanks Andy, I dared and failed
lol
Thanks Mek, it does show though that jazz will be around for a long time.
Andy
Bad enough playing football in the rain. In saying that, once you're out, there's no going back.
So true Paul.

Wonderful poem Andy!
Thanks Jon.
I can imagine the disappointment when you've planned a fun regular activity and then you can't. The weatherman is wrong again here! Still waiting for that heat spell, it's raining again this morning. But I enjoyed watching the video.
It is disappointing when we cannot play but there is always the next day so all is good.
Andy
You dared, and I smiled as you expected. What? No croquet indoors? Is that not a challenge enough? 😄
Playing croquet indoors is almost non existent AP. I have played in the sun, in the rain, in the snow but if we feel that the lawn may suffer we do not play in severe conditions. Glad I brought a smile to your face.
Andy
Yes Andy, the grass is an important participant in croquet. 😉
