Rain...

rain, steady plain rain
no extra fancy sky light or cloud noise
or whirling wind
just rain
steady.plain.rain.
seeps in every crevice known
and too many not. surprise. some not.
drip...
drip...
drip...
drip...
lasts longer than the rain.
this will not be the day that
I quit smoking.

Send it over here!

BTW I had people urge me to publish a book of my Nigerian stories [Sweetchillisauce, in the sidebar]. I contacted publishers - no interest, so I self-published and sold through the website. Probably sold 40 or so of the 2000 I had printed. Been giving the others away ever since. Sadly, only one of the people urging me to publish bought a copy. But, if you know a publisher with a penchant for silly verse with the occasional serious one, let me know. Probably the right time for Xmas.

JCN, if only I could.

I had the pleasure of reading your tome, thanks to a mutual blogging friend.
I wish I knew a friendly publisher.
I'd be happy if more people bought from my Pondering....... store.

However, I heard there was a good deal from the Antarctic for ice chunks....
