My One Attempt at Poetry, For Your Enjoyment

I am not a poet.
A writer, yes, most definitely.
An author, maybe not yet, but I will be.
But I'm not a poet.
Nevertheless, I have delved into the realm of poetry once or twice, and the following poem is the best of my poetical works. Enjoy! ♥Nancy♫

Rain...
Have you ever lain
on the grass in the rain
getting wet wetter wettest
as water seeps beneath
your arms your back your thighs
freezing off your fingers
and your toes
and washing worms up to the surface
so they slither and they slide
trying to hide and you hope that they’ll survive
but that’s not what’s on your mind
‘coz you just can’t help but notice
that the colours are more vibrant
when you view them through the rain drops
even though the day is dark and grey and gloomy
all the water
makes the world look sparkling bright
and warm even though
you could be getting frostbite
‘coz the ground’s so cold
but that’s okay
it feels so very natural
like you’re one with all
and all is one with you
because you know you are surrounded
by rain air mud and light
and all the things that make the world up
and it just feels right
to be laying on the grass
in the rain
?
