::: Summer Rains :::

like so many rainy days
lovers come and go
and, just like those rains
some will help you grow
while others simply drown you
it can be hard to say
which way the rain will be
until it's sunny
sometimes a gentle shower
lasts for days
or a downpour comes
just some few minutes
so help and harm are confused
into the same

::: Wonderland Tea Party :::

have you ever been out of wonder?
land on your feet every time
things go awry
pull up your socks and
tug on your skirt
it doesn't feel like anything
with dragonflies on your fingertips
and riddles on your tongue
do you still believe in oysters?
when things become repeatedly curiouser
will you think to stop and eat?
in the race out from the ocean
take time
make way for tea
