Janet Redmon of Lompoc, California usually writes poetry for children but sent us this one she wrote some years ago entitled “Rain Castles”

The raindrops live in castles

Built of pure white light,

They swell to fill the turrets,

Calling to the wind to cross the drawbridge,

Inviting the thunder in

To sing an ancient song

Of weeping skies.
