A SOFT IRISH DAY

It was a very Irish day,

soft rain fell

and ran into collected puddles

but slowly, like there was

no hurry on it.

Sheep, sheltering under

the big old tree,

with damp wool,

gave the odd ‘baa’ out at the rain

but they weren’t too bothered.

Gentle rain sat on the green grass,

like shining pearls

layered on a posh frock,

more misty drops

than bucketfuls.

Sure where would we be

without the rain,

a brown barren desert

with harsh light,

and not a pick of grass for the sheep.
