She rules a rainy kingdom
of frogs and slugs and snails
and her silver gleams in buckets
and her diamonds shine in pails
she rides a mighty storm horse
that gallops through the sky
sparking lightning from her hooves
as she goes thundering by
My first rain quadrille for Kim at dVerse. It’s a re-working of an old one. Does that count?

Love the image of that storm horse… a bit like Thor with his eight footed horse maybe

I’m struggling to keep up – I spotted another quadrille by you, Sarah, and I’m only just reading this one! I also love the storm horse, but my imagination was taken by the silver gleaming in buckets
and diamonds shining in pails. An exhilarating Quadrille!

I’ve seen her! …for the past two weeks at least. Someone said that it’s rained so much here that it’s washed the poetry out of the rainy day.

I like that realm of frogs in buckets and rainy diamonds. It’s a beautiful kingdom. (She can keep the lightning bolts though, it’s too dry here now).
