In verse: To ma

Written in April 2011 
To ma (or why I got wet this evening)
Do not look at me so, mother, I truly hadn't intended
to get so drenched. Only, I was outside
when the raindrops came calling on our hibiscus.
It was all stiff and formal at first,
but then, they began to play this light, bouncy tune,
and the stems an' leaves danced so spiritedly,
I just had to join in the merriment.
