| Posted by Ashley Lane on 07/03/07 at 02:13 PM I agree with El about this line: A postcard from Mr. Sunshine saying
�Hey having a great time wish you were here." Perfectly captures that frustration of grey days. |

| Posted by Bruce W Niedt on 07/12/07 at 11:28 AM Really fine personification of the sun in this one, Sandy. I hope the weather has finally broken over there - I know there was terrible flooding in Texas recently and I guess some of that affected you as well. Congrats on POTD! d:-) |
| Posted by Kyle Anne Kish on 07/12/07 at 04:02 PM Sunshine, how we take it for granted when it is out and miss it when it's not. I loved your poem, especially the part about the postcard from Mr. Sunshine. Beautifully written. Congratulations on your POTD. |
| Posted by JD Clay on 07/12/07 at 04:08 PM This is an interesting take on what some might call a disaster, but your lightheartedness comes shining through even if the sun is wearing shades. As sure as the earth keeps spinning, the next drought is headed your way. Let�s just hope your muse is ready to tackle that. Congratulations on becoming The Soggy Bottom Poet Of The Day. |

| Posted by Quentin S Clingerman on 07/13/07 at 02:39 AM Congratulations on POTD, July 12, '07. Oh for some of that rain our way (but not the flooding thank you.) Think this is one of the best poems of yours I've read. Quite good! |
| Posted by Chris Sorrenti on 07/17/07 at 04:56 PM LOL! Sounds like my three weeks of summer vacation I just returned from. More like a monsoon here though with a downpour usually in early afternoon. I like the sense of humour and descriptiveness here Sandy. Well done! |
| Posted by Kristina Woodhill on 01/26/10 at 11:17 PM Even though this is a couple of years old, I can think of several regions in the country right now feeling the "drumming of drops overhead". This is timeless and yet classic in its approach and descriptions, outside and in. Thank you. |
