Drenched

Limp, heavy,
droopy
blooms,
thin skinned irises
translucent, in the rain
a gauze blouse exposing
the skin underneath
bejeweled rhododendron
radiant even in shadow
warm water wash
over them,
nourish, renew
revive them
When the sun rises
once more

~Raymond A Foss

Wet wet wet ...... all around........again........ ;-P
