Elizabeth Lockwood
I can’t write anymore about rainBecause nobody wants to see itNobody wants to hear the pitter patterThe drumming, the splashNobody wants it to ruin their dayTurning the white clouds greyNobody wants to see the windows obscuredby drips and dropsNobody wants to go outside and get soaked throughAnd huff and puff at the inconvenienceSo I can’t write about rain anymoreBecause I’ll ruin everybody’s dayRain and Leaves is Elizabeth Lockwood’s second book of poetry and illustrations. Her first book of poetry, Waves of Stardust, and her memoir, Little Something, are also available.
