Love Story After Rain
If I had a penny for each
of all my thoughts of you,
my dear, I’d buy us lollipops
for one hand,
yellow tulips for the other
and as the rainbows disappear,
replaced by brighter clouds,
stay near—
together
as we have been wont to do,
everybody else
disappearing
except us,
your sunshine drying
up the puddles.
Do not seek to join us,
world,
We are enough—
sticky-tongued
with pollen
clinging
to our lips and fingers,
silly grins.
Love story after rain.
For Wordle 319 the prompt words are: sunshine lollipops rainbows disappear join stay near penny together brighter cloud everybody
Also, for NaPoWriMo, the prompt challenges us to write a love poem, one that names at least one flower, contains one parenthetical statement, and in which at least some lines break in unusual places.

I love yellow, so the tulip photo is a joy, but there’s something about the lollipop that tickles my fancy.

It reminds me of when Tootsie Roll Pops were invented… How I loved them.
