Rain Delay

Rain Delay

The front moves in.

Dark clouds all around.

Suddenly, the drops come down.

There are no flashes so

it's safe to wait 

beneath a tree.

Sheets of water

make it difficult to see,

but this is no long-term storm.

It goes as quickly as it came.

When play resumes,

the signs change to

"Cart Path Only"

for the rest of the day.

Do you have a story about a rain delay that you would like to share?
