Start the Week With Words: Rainy Days
Posted on: August 23, 2010
It’s raining, it’s pouring! When I saw the rain outside my office window, I had to grab poetry book about rainy days for this week’s post. Featuring works by various poets, old and new, Rainy Day Rhymes was the perfect choice. I picked two of my favorites to share with you. Please pass them on to your kids!
Rain
by Robert Louis StevensonThe rain is raining all around,
It falls on field and tree,
It rains on the umbrellas here,
And on the ships at sea.
City Rain
by Rachel FieldRain in the city!
I love to see it fall
Slantwise where buildings crowd
Red brick and all.
Streets of shiny wetness
Where the taxis go,
With people and umbrellas all
Bobbing to and fro.
Rain in the city!
I love to hear it drip
When I am cozy in my room
Snug as any ship,
With toys spread on the table,
With a picture book or two,
And the rain like a rumbling tune that sings
Through everything I do.
