"Wet..."

By Jacqueline Sanders

Pants dripping with water
Umbrella drenched from the rain.

Jacket soaked, the weather is insane.

Dark sky filled with rain clouds, moisture hitting my car window, hood, trunk and everywhere.

Wishing for a hint of sunlight on the dreary night.

Watching people put up fights with their jackets to stay closed and their umbrellas to stay open.

Dampened hair, flying everywhere, especially in your face. Cars splashing water.

Heavy water droplets drip down the windowpane.

The sidewalk gleams with dampness. Children’s galosh-covered feet hop through mirrored puddles, splashing a dazzling array of showering fireworks everywhere; their noses drip with raindrops.

Parents grumble as they sop up their soggy children with saturated towels.
