Strange Rain (part 2) #seacreatureweather

Strange rain (part 2)

Today, the sea fell from the sky

in the way I hoped it would

when I first saw diagrams of water tables

If rain always meant a surprise of sea-creatures,

I would wade through whelk,

to sashay with a stingray, have thrills with the krill

observe the oysters

and rejoice with a porpoise.

I am showered with sharks,

re-born as a prawn

take a torrent of turbot, a wetness of whales,

an earthquake of hake and some galeforce seahorses

Today, the river fell from the sky

A damp smog of frogs,

thudercrack of natterjacks,

a blizzard of lizards.

I am excited as a two-year old

who knows rain

means puddles and ducks.
