When (3rd Poem)

We were so happy then
When
When
When
You held me on rainy days
Captive in the water for what seemed like hours
Only mere seconds until we drifted to shelter
Umbrella or indoor weather
Where we’d occupy the rest of the day

Those days are with our youth
Our happiness too
When when when you held me on rainy days

  1. What a beautiful poem. The hypnotic repetition of single words creates the gentlest tone (lyrical, musical) and captures a sense of remembered intimacy on rainy days. Delicately crafted – and beautifully nuanced. Gorgeous!
