I think this is a really wonderful poem.

WALKING IN THE RAIN

By: Joyce Chigiya [Zimbabwe]

I am going out
in the gentle summer rain, remnants of a storm
to feel the drenched cotton fabric
of this threadbare shirt cling on to me like a sheath
smell the parched earth suck in the season’s first rain
please come with me

We will paddle about cautiously though not to mash
too many snails

It is very beautiful. Thank you for sharing it!
It's so full of imagery...I feel like I'm there with the poet.
