My poem WALKING IN THE RAIN is in response to Lindaβs dβVerse Quadrille Poetry Prompt #170. The prompt word is MUSIC. To take the meaning, form or compound of the word music, and write a poem of exactly 44 words (not counting the title), including the prompt word.

Play rain and thunder sound
Walking in the rain Jumping in puddles splish-splosh-splash Lightening flash, Pitter-patter on a windowpane; bass drumrolls of thunder, crescendos of wonder Drip, drop, Getting wet in quartet Friends dash (Good weather for ducks) Rain-splash Pitter-patters dance on umbrellas unburdening Musical clouds Soft and Louds Lesley Scoble.

Walking in the Rain ceramic sculpture
Walking in the Rain is a subject I like to revisit. I enjoy sculpting figures walking in the rain. It chuffed me when my first ceramic sculpture Walking in the Rain won the V&A competition.
