good riddance to october rain
I don’t remember autumn being this wet
she said
I blinked my eyes and looked outside
thinking to myself what an
absurd thing to say
it’s not that wet I said it’s just an illusion
it’s wet enough they canceled tonight’s
baseball game she said
real men play in the rain I said
you’re an idiot she said and walked away
I raised my glass and made a silent toast
to rid the world of absurdity
and rainy october nights
october two thousand fourteen

You’re more than welcome, Arthur. Hope you noticed both yours and Susan’s poems are included in the collection! See you at happy hour, my friend. ;`)
The only thing which can end October rain is November!
You got that right, Archie! 😀
Love this, John, and the ending is perfect…our rain is just beginning and we need it. 🙂
Yes, we needed it too…so glad you enjoyed this one, Lauren!
Made me smile this one!! 😀 I guess we can’t all look at life in the same way – even rain! 😉
Glad to learn this one made you smile, Suzy. Thanks so much for your support!

Thank you very much for sharing my poem, Lydia.
Another good one. You are so consistently excellent. I like that you add narration. I have a blogger page too and can’t figure out how to add audio. How do you do it? Thanks. J
Thanks so much, Jimmy. I actually pay WordPress a small annual fee to be able store audio on my blog. I use the iPhone voice memo app to record then email it to myself for uploading. Nice to see you visiting and commenting here, love your IG photos!
Oh, I didn’t realize your blog was hosted on WordPress. Thought it was stand alone on Blogger. I will look into that. And, thanks for the compliment. J
