Dasher Challenge Poem - Word: Raindrops, 1-11-10

Okay, so here's the deal: one of the writing groups I'm in in Second Life (TM) has this thing called the daily dash. Everyday we get a group IM from the moderator telling us a word for the day and we are supposed to write on it for fifteen minutes. I've never done it until now, so here's my first attempt at "dashing" in SL (TM). Hope you enjoy! <3

Dasher Challenge Poem -- Raindrops

raindrops gently dancing on my skin

in hot fetid humid air

like little beads of reprieve

from this steamy heat

that overwhelms me

flooding my senses

with senstions

and deviations

with no good explanation

oh i love watching the heat rise from the pavement

in waves of wiggly transparencies

and the steam permeates everything

and the intermittent raindrops sing to me

sprinkling down their song upon my skin

causing "some wierd sin"

oh, what trouble will this get me in

i hear the words of b. j. thomas

"raindrops keep falling on my head

and just like the guy whose feet are too big for his bed

nothing seems to fit

those raindrops are falling on my head, they keep fallin'"

ah, i don't fit and yet a single raindrop

transforms all that and i'm lifted out of myself

and petty concerns no longer have any consequence

as the "raindrops keep fallin'"

and "i'm never gonna stop the rain by complainin

b/c i'm free

nothing's worrying me"

oh god bless the raindrops

and the heat

and the steam

and days like this

oh, nothing beats this bliss
