Song of a Summer Shower

It's fairy weather

By K.B. Silver Published about a year ago • 1 min read

As I lie in bed

Listening to the hypnotic patter

Of a bursting summer rain

On the old tin roof

I hear an off refrain

A chorus of laughter

Trills and tra la las

Echoing and overlaying

A twisted carnival tune

Never seeming to abate

The pouring rain is driving down

Upon the mossy logs

Yet all I hear

Are peals of fairies' giggles

They pelt the cabin with rocks

Assaulting relentlessly

Until sunshine breaks through

Heavy grey clouds

Baking mud pies in

Their tiny tin hearts
